THE EXAMPLE)

1. Asexual Reproduction Is a type of reproduction that

does not involve the fusion of
gametes or change in the
number of chromosomes.

2. Sexual Reproduction The production of new

organisms by the combination
of genetic information of two
individuals of different sexes.

3. Fission A splitting or breaking up into

parts

4. Fragmentation Is a type of asexual

reproduction in which an
organism simply breaks into
individual pieces at maturity.

5. Budding Asexual reproduction where a

new organism form as an
outgrowth of its parent.

6. Sporulation The formation of spores

7. Isogamy Is a form of sexual
reproduction that involves
gametes of similar
morphology, differing only in
allele expression in one or
more mating-type regions.

8. Heterogamy Alternation of sexual and

parthenogenic generations, as
in some aphids.

9. Bisexual Reproduction The condition of an organism

capable of producing both
male and female gametes (sex
cells).

10. Germination the process through which a

new plant develops from its
seed

11. Haploid Pertains to a condition, a cell,

or an organism that has half of
the usual complete set of
chromosomes in somatic cells.

12. Diploid Could pertain to or describe a

cell or an organism consisting
of two sets of chromosomes
where one set comes from the
mother and another set from
the father.
13. Gametogenesis The development and
production of the male and
female germ cells required to
form a new individual.
14. Fertilization The process of combining the
male gamete, or sperm, with
the female gamete or ovum.

15. Morula Solid mass of blastomeres

resulting from a number of
cleavages of a zygote, or
fertilized egg.

16. Gastrulation The process in which the

embryo develops into a
gastrula following blastulation
during the early embryonic
development of animals.

17. Organogenesis Is the phase of embryonic

development that starts at the
end of gastrulation and
continues until birth.

18. Growth Is the irreversible increase of

an organism’s size over a given
period.

19. Follicular phase Is the longest step in the

menstrual cycle, lasting from
the first day of a period to
ovulation, meaning the release
of the egg.
20. Ovulation The release of an egg from an
ovary during the menstrual
cycle.
