Hatch from eggs within the uterus, and the mother gives birth to live young
Viviparous
Develop directly inside the mother (PLACENTA)
Fragmentation
Separation of a parent plant into parts that develop into whole plants
Clones from Cuttings
Reproduced from plant fragments called cuttings or callus (mass of dividing undifferentiated cells)
Grafting
1. A twig or bud can be grafted onto a plant of a closely related species or variety
2. The stock provides the root system
3. The scion is grafted onto the stock
Scion or Bud
The part that is being grafted onto the stock
Binary Fission
A type of asexual reproduction involving the division of the body into two or more equal parts
Budding
Type of asexual reproduction where a new individual arises as an outgrowth (bud) from its parent, and then detaches itself
Sporulation
New individual forms from an aggregation of cells surrounded by a resistant capsule or spore, which later on germinates
Fragmentation
The body breaks into two or more parts, with each fragment capable of becoming a complete individual; in animals, fragmentation is usually followed by regeneration where the missing parts are produced
Parthenogenesis
An egg develops without being fertilized
Haplontic
The dominant, photosynthetic phase in such plants is the free-living haploid gametophyte
Haplo-Diplontic
Bryophytes and pteridophytes, interestingly, exhibit an intermediate condition
Diplontic
Diploid sporophyte is the dominant, photosynthetic, independent phase of the plant
Angiosperms
The sporophyte is the dominant generation, the large plant that we see
Endosperm
Part of the mature seed that is derived from the fusion of the sperm nucleus and the two polar nuclei of the embryo sac
