sexual reproduction
type of reproduction in which the genetic materials from two different cells combine , producing an offspring
egg
female sex cell, forms in an ovary
sperm
male sex cell, forms in a testis
fertilization
process of an egg cell and sperm cell joining together
zygote
the new cell that forms from fertilization
diploid
cells that have pairs of chromosomes
homologous chromosomes
pairs of chromosomes that have genes for the same traits arranged in the same order
haploid
cells that have only one chromosome from each pair of chromosomes
meiosis
process where one diploid cell divides and makes four haploid cells
gene
a section on a chromosome that has genetic information for one trait
trait
physical characteristic controlled by one or more genes
asexual reproduction
type of reproduction where one parent organism produces offspring without meiosis and fertilization, offspring are genetically identical to each other and parent
fission
type of asexual reproduction where cell division in prokaryotes form two genetically identical cells
budding
type of asexual reproduction where a new organism grows by mitosis and cell division on the body of its parent
regeneration
type of asexual reproduction that occurs when an offspring grows from a piece of its parent
vegetative reproduction
type of asexual reproduction in which offspring grow from a part of a parent plant
cloning
type of asexual reproduction performed in a laboratory that produces identical individuals from a cell or from a cluster of cells taken from a multicellular organism
