What to Study Chp 3

Cell containing only one chromosome from each homologous pair. Haploid

Haploid reproductive cell produced by the female reproductive organs Egg

The joining of egg and sperm. Fertilization

A cell containing a complete set of homologous chromosomes pairs. Diploid

A type of reproduction that combines genetic material from two different cells to produce offspring. Sexual reproduction

Haploid reproductive cell produced by the male reproductive organs sperm

A process of cell division that produces egg & sperm cells (sex cells). meiosis

 Non-living things Abiotic

 Fertilization that occurs inside a female.  Requires fewer eggs. Internal fertilization

Diploid cell formed by the fusion of one egg and one sperm cell; develops into a new organism. zygote

A process of cell division that produces body cells (hair, skin, blood etc. cells) Mitosis

 A organism with a nucleus.  Can be single celled or multi- celled. Eukaryote

Why is Meiosis Important?  It is important because it produces egg & sperm cells (sex cells) which are haploids.  Since it makes haploid cells each new generation starts off with the same number of chromosomes as the parent.

A type of reproduction that ONLY requires one parent. Asexual reproduction

 Has to do with living organisms Biotic

Develops into the seed ovule

A plant that has fruits and flowers angiosperm

 Joining of egg and sperm outside the females body.  Requires large amounts of eggs. External fertilization

Where is pollen produced. anther

What comes first the fruit or the flower. flower

 A living thing without a nucleus  Also called bacteria Prokaryote

 Asexual reproduction in bacteria Fission

Contains an embryo, food supply, and a protected outer covering seed

What comes first pollination or fertilization. pollination

Where does fertilization occur? ovary
