DIFFERENT KINDS OF REPRODUCTION

Asexual Reproduction: One parent produces offspring that are genetically


identical to the parent.
Chromosome: A condensed strand of DNA in the cells of all organisms.
Egg: Female sex cell.
Fertilization: The joining of male and female sex cells to form a new
organism.
Gamete: Sex cell; also called germ cell.
Gene: Part of a chromosome that carries genetic information that determines
the characteristics that organisms can inherit from their parents.
Offspring: New organism that results from asexual or sexual reproduction.
Sexual Reproduction: The joining of a female egg and a male sperm to
produce offspring; two parents are involved; offspring are genetically
different from each parent.
Sperm: Male sex cell.

Plants reproduce by spreading seeds. These seeds are fertilized by animals, such
as bees, also called pollinators. The pollinators (the animals) pollinate the plant.
The male cell goes into the ovary and fertilizes the seed. When the time is right,
the plant disperses the seed and it gets planted.

WHICH PART OF THE PLANTS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPRODUCTION


the flower because it has nector bees eat necto and spread it on the ground to make more
seeds whitch means more plants

Reproduction of organisms
In single-celled organisms (e.g., bacteria, protozoans, many algae, and some fungi), organismic
and cell reproduction are synonymous, for the cell is the whole organism. Details of the process
differ greatly from one form to the next and, if the higher ciliate protozoans are included, can be
extraordinarily complex. It is possible for reproduction to be asexual, by simple division, or
sexual. In sexual unicellular organisms the gametes can be produced by division (often multiple
fission, as in numerous algae) or, as in yeasts, by the organism turning itself into a gamete and
fusing its nucleus with that of a neighbour of the opposite sex, a process that is called
conjugation. In ciliate protozoans (e.g., Paramecium), the conjugation process involves the
exchange of haploid nuclei; each partner acquires a new nuclear apparatus, half of which is
genetically derived from its mate. The parent cells separate and subsequently reproduce by
binary fission. Sexuality is present even in primitive bacteria, in which parts of the chromosome
of one cell can be transferred to another during mating.
