Unit 1 Biological Diversity(A.2)

Front 1

Asexual Reproduction

Back 1

Is the production of offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Ex Binary Fission; Budding; Spore Formation; and Vegative Reproduction.

Front 2

Binary Fission(Asexual)

Back 2

One cell splits into two cells, resulting on the production of two identical individuals.

Front 3

Budding(Asexual)

Back 3

The parent produces a small bud, which detaches from the parent and developed into an identical individuals. Ex Hydra; Yeast; Corals.

Front 4

Spore Formation(Asexual)

Back 4

Fungi and non-flowering plants produce spores. Each spore developed into a new individual that is identical to the parent.

Front 5

Vegetative Reproduction(Asexual)

Back 5

A form of reproduction that does not involve the formation of seeds. Ex Tubers in Potatoes; Bulbs in Daffodils.

Front 6

Sexual Reproduction

Back 6

Reproduction that involves two idividuals.

Front 7

Gametes

Back 7

Specialized cells involved in sexual reproduction. Male gametes: sperm. Female gametes: egg cells.

Front 8

Fertilization

Back 8

The union of a sperm cell and an egg cell.

Front 9

Zygote

Back 9

A cell formed from fertilization.

Front 10

Sperm Cell

Back 10

Front 11
