the reproductive cycle involves the production of games

nuclei of sex cells fuse to form a zygote

Vegetative Propogation
b)
Binary Fission

a)
granny smith apples, only
b)
red delicious apples and mackintosh apples

9.
a)
budding
b)
sporulation
c)
vegetative propagation
d)
binary fission
10.
a)
budding
b)
binary fission
c)
sporulation
d)
regeneration
11.
This is when a new organism grows by cell division on the body of its parent. The bud, or offspring is identical to the parent. The bud, when large enough, can break off of the parent and live on its own. Examples of this include yeast, hydra and potatoes.
a)
Regeneration
b)
Vegetative propagation
c)
Fission
d)
Budding
12.
What type of asexual reproduction is taking place?
Fishermen work hard to catch and remove all the starfish that get into their favorite shell fishing beds and the “underwater farms” where they raise clams and oysters. In the past, they put the starfish into their boats, cut them up with knives, and then throw the pieces of starfish overboard. They thought this would kill the starfish. What they did not know was that each piece of starfish will grow into a whole new animal.

Create another offspring
c)
Fall in love
d)
Die
14.
