Study Notes
Types of Reproduction
- Sexual reproduction involves the formation of gametes.
- Asexual reproduction is extremely useful as a means of rapid multiplication.
Heredity Material
- DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is the heredity material found in the nucleus of a cell.
Variation in Reproduction
- Sexual reproduction causes variation through the formation of new cells.
Process of Reproduction
- Sexual reproduction involves two individuals, one male and one female, to give rise to a new individual.
Pollination
- Self-pollination is the process called when pollen grains are transferred from the anther to the stigma of the same flower.
Seed Formation
- After fertilization, the ovary develops into a seed-containing structure.
- The ovary changes into a fruit after fertilization in the process of seed formation.
Male Reproductive System
- In the male reproductive system, a pair of testes are located outside the abdomen, in a pouch called the scrotum.
Test your knowledge on the types of reproduction and the role of DNA in heredity. Understand how new individuals are produced and the importance of variations for survival and evolution.
