Meadgold Regular **DOK List** 1. **Species-** a group of interbreeding organisms that share similar characteristics 2. **Offspring**- a new organism that results from asexual or sexual reproduction 3. **Stamen**- Male reproductive organ of flowering plants 4. **Pistil-** female reproductive organ of flowering plants 5. **Anthers-** part of the stamen that contains pollen 6. **Stigma**- top of the pistil where pollen grains are deposited 7. **Cross-pollination-** transfer of pollen from the anthers of one plant to the stigma of another plant of the same species 8. **Asexual reproduction**-type of reproduction requiring only one parent; results in an offspring identical to the parent 9. **Budding**-type of asexual reproduction in which an outgrowth develops at a particular location on the organism, creating a new organism 10. **Binary fission-**a type of asexual reproduction that prokaryotes and other single-celled organisms often undergo; the organism duplicates its genetic material and then divides evenly into two organisms 11. **Vegetative propagation**- a form of asexual reproduction where a new plant grows from part of the plant 12. **Variation**-a different version of something like alleles or traits 13. **Sexual reproduction**- a type of reproduction requiring two parents and resulting in an offspring with traits of both parents 14. **Sperm**- male gamete (sex cell) 15. **Egg**- female gamete (sex cell) 16. **Pollen**- male reproductive cell of flowering plants 17. **Larvae-** pre-adult form of many organism, such as the caterpillar is the pre-adult form of a butterfly
