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 multicelled.
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?
