BIOL 1002 Chapter : Chapter 41 Notes
Document Summary
Chapter 41 notes: describe sexual vs. asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring: describe budding, regeneration, and fission. Budding is when a miniature version of the adult grows directly on the body of the adults and then breaks off. Regeneration is the ability to regrow lost body parts. Fission is the action of dividing or splitting something into two or more parts: define parthenogenesis. A diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes; a fertilized ovum: define the term hermaphrodites. A person or animal having both male and female sex organs or other sexual characteristics, either abnormally or as the natural condition: explain external fertilization. The mating position of frogs and toads, in which the male clasps the female about the back: explain internal fertilization.
