Study Notes
- Bread mold and some invertebrate animals reproduce asexually.
- Asexual reproduction in animals includes budding and regeneration.
- Budding is a method of reproduction where a new organism grows from a parent's body and can either stay attached or break off.
- Regeneration is the process where detached body parts of an organism can develop into a new organism if they contain enough genetic information.
- Asexual reproduction is advantageous for organisms that stay in one place and have stable environments.
- Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two gametes from both parents, forming a diploid organism.
- Sexual reproduction in algae includes conjugation and alternation of generations.
- Internal fertilization occurs when eggs are fertilized inside the female's body and new offspring develop outside of it.
- External fertilization occurs when eggs are fertilized outside the female's body.
- Hermaphrodites are animals that have both female and male reproductive organs but may still require a mate to reproduce.
- Parthenogenesis is a process where eggs develop without fertilization.
- Plants reproduce from a seed which grows into a plant and sheds seeds to continue the cycle.
- Mammals give birth to live young and feed them with milk, while other animals lay eggs.
- The reproductive system of a flower includes carpels (female reproductive organs) and stamens (male reproductive organs).
- In the flower's carpels, the ovary is where the eggs are produced, and the style and stigma facilitate the transfer of male gametes to the ovary.
