Study Notes
Branches of Biology
- Taxonomy: Focuses on the identification, nomenclature, and classification of plants and animals.
- Ecology: Primarily considers interactions between organisms and their environment, including the study of ecosystems.
- Morphology: Concentrates on the form and structure of organisms, including their physical characteristics.
Inheritance and Reproduction
- Genetics: Involves the study of inheritance and how different characteristics are passed from parents to offspring.
Types of Asexual Reproduction
- Asexual Reproduction: Generates offspring from a single parent without the involvement of gametes.
- Binary Fission: A common method of asexual reproduction where a single cell divides into two daughter cells, prevalent in microorganisms like bacteria.
- Gemmulation: A reproductive process in sponges that involves the formation of internal buds known as gemmules.
- Bud Formation: A form of asexual reproduction where a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud from the parent organism.
Sexual Reproduction Processes
- Conjugation: Process where two similar organisms fuse, exchange genetic material, and then separate, typically observed in algae.
- Pollination: The transfer of pollen from the male part (anther) of a plant to the female part (stigma) to facilitate fertilization.
