BIO 101: General Biology I - Reproduction

The process by which organisms create offspring of the same kind.

A single individual creates offspring without the involvement of another individual.

Two individuals contribute genetic material to create offspring.

A single-celled organism divides into two identical daughter cells.

A new organism grows from a bud that forms on the parent's body.

Specialized cells called spores are released from the parent organism, capable of developing into new individuals.

The process of plant reproduction involving flowers, pollination, fertilization, and the development of seeds and fruits.

The range of reproductive processes in animals, often involving specialized sex organs and mating behaviors.

Single-celled units released by parent plants that develop into new individuals.

A form of asexual reproduction in plants where new plants arise from vegetative parts like roots, stems, or leaves.

A type of vegetative propagation where new plants grow from adventitious roots.

A type of vegetative propagation where new plants grow from stems.

A type of stem propagation where a horizontal stem grows along the ground, producing new plants at nodes.

A type of stem propagation where shoots arise from the base of the main stem.

A type of stem propagation where a swollen underground stem stores food.

A type of stem propagation where an underground stem stores food and buds.

The transfer of pollen from the anther of a flower to the stigma.

Pollination where pollen from a flower falls on its own stigma, leading to fertilization.

Pollination where pollen from one flower falls on the stigma of another flower of the same species.

The fusion of the pollen and ovule nuclei, leading to seed development.

Animals that lay eggs.

Animals that give birth to live young.

Animals that have both male and female reproductive organs.

The fusion of male and female gametes to produce a zygote, which then develops into a new plant.

The male reproductive organ of a flower, responsible for producing pollen grains.

The female reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary, which contains the ovules.

The part of the stamen that produces pollen grains.

The sticky part of the pistil that receives pollen grains.

The fusion of the male gamete (pollen) with the female gamete (ovule) to form a zygote.

Flowers that contain both male (stamen) and female (pistil) reproductive parts.

The male reproductive organs produce sperm, while the female reproductive organs produce eggs.

Fertilization that occurs inside the body of the female.

Fertilization that occurs outside the body of the female.

A type of reproduction that occurs mainly in lower organisms. It involves a single parent without gamete formation.

Fertilized eggs are laid outside, and the developing embryo receives nourishment from the yolk.

Fertilized eggs are retained inside the female's body, receiving nourishment from the yolk. Eggs are laid just before hatching.
