6.1.1 Sexual and Asexual Reproduction

• What is the defining feature of sexual reproduction?

  Fusion of two gametes
• Sexual reproduction leads to increased genetic diversity.


  True
• Offspring in sexual reproduction inherit genetic information from both parents
• What type of reproduction does not involve gamete fusion?

  Asexual reproduction
• The zygote formed in sexual reproduction develops into a mature organism.

  True
• Fertilization in animals occurs when a sperm cell fuses with an egg
• What is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma called in plants?

  Pollination
• The fruit in plants develops from the ovary of the flower.


  True
• Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma.
• The zygote in plants is formed after the fusion of male and female gametes.


  True
• Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two gametes
• What is the process called when two gametes combine in sexual reproduction?

  Gamete fusion
• Zygote formation is a key feature of sexual reproduction.


  True
• Asexual reproduction results in offspring with low genetic diversity
• What is formed when a sperm cell fuses with an egg cell in animals?

  Zygote
• The zygote in animals undergoes cell division to form an embryo.


  True
• In plants, male gametes are carried to the ovule through a pollen tube
• Where are the male gametes produced in plants?

  Pollen grains
• Steps of sexual reproduction in plants

  1️⃣ Gamete production

  2️⃣ Pollination

  3️⃣ Fertilization

  4️⃣ Seed and fruit development
• What part of the flower develops into a fruit?

  Ovary
• Which type of reproduction involves gamete fusion?

  Sexual
• Offspring in sexual reproduction inherit traits from both parents.
• What are the specialized reproductive cells in animals called?

  Gametes
• The zygote in animals develops into an embryo during its development.
• What is the key feature of asexual reproduction?

  No gamete fusion
• Where are gametes (ovules) produced in a flower?

  Female part
• What does the zygote develop into during seed development?

  Embryo
• Sexual reproduction in plants combines genetic material from both parents.


  True
• In binary fission, a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells
• Asexual reproduction produces offspring with low genetic diversity.


  True
• A zygote is formed during sexual reproduction
• Order the stages of pollination and fertilization in plants:

  1️⃣ Pollen transfer to stigma

  2️⃣ Pollen tube growth

  3️⃣ Male gamete fusion with ovule

  4️⃣ Zygote formation
• What is the result of gamete fusion in sexual reproduction?

  Zygote
• Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two gametes
• Steps in sexual reproduction

  1️⃣ Fusion of gametes

  2️⃣ Formation of a zygote

  3️⃣ Development into offspring
• Sexual reproduction leads to high genetic diversity.


  True
• In asexual reproduction, the offspring inherit traits from a single parent
• Steps in sexual reproduction

  1️⃣ Gamete fusion

  2️⃣ Zygote formation

  3️⃣ Genetic mixing

  4️⃣ Offspring development
• Asexual reproduction leads to low genetic diversity.


  True
• Steps in zygote development

  1️⃣ Cell division

  2️⃣ Embryo formation

  3️⃣ Mature organism
