Binary Fission

A type AR where one single celled organism divides equally to produce two new, identical organisms. (EX. Bacteria)

Vegetative Propagation

A type of AR plant reproduction that occurs in where a part of a plant (root, stem, leaf) grows into a new identical plant. (NATURAL - tubers, runners, rhizomes) (ARTIFICIAL - cuttings, graftings)

Pollinator

Anything that is capable of transporting pollen for the anther to the stigma. Includes insects, birds, animals, wind, water, people

Petals

Colorful leaves that surround the reproductive parts of a flower

Ovary

Female flower structure; lower part of pistil that contains ovules

Style

Female flower structure; stalk of the pistil that connects the stigma to the ovary

Stigma

Female flower structure; top sticky part of pistil that COLLECTS pollen

Pistil

Female reproductive organ of a flower. Contains stigma, style, ovary

Ovules

Located in ovary; when fertilized by pollen, develop into seeds

Rhizomes

Long, modified stems that grow horizontally. Under the soil. New plants are produced at nodes along the stem. Lawn grasses, ferns, and irises reproduce by rhizomes.

Pollen

Male flower sperm

Stamen

Male reproductive part of a flower

Sepals

Outermost leaves surrounding the reproductive flowers (surrounds petals)

Cuttings

Pieces of roots, stems or leaves develop into new plants under proper conditions. Roses, sugar cane, and bananas are propagated this way.

Regeneration

Re-growing body parts from limbs lost (EX. Starfish)

Filament

Stem part of the stamen; holds up/SUPPORTS anther

Runners

Stems that grow out over the surface of the soil from the existing stem. At points along the runner, new plants grow. Runners occur in strawberries and some grasses.

Parthenogenesis

The process of producing female offspring asexually from one parent offspring

Fragmentation

The process of producing new organisms from fragments of another organism

Sexual Reproduction

The process of producing offspring that result from the union of male and female sex cells (eggs and sperm)

Asexual Reproduction

The producing of offspring identical to parent

Anther

Top part of stamen; produces POLLEN

Budding

Type of AR where a bud-like formation grows on a parent organism; matures and falls of to produce a new organism (EX. Yeast)

Bulbs

Underground stems specialized for food storage. The food is stored in the thick leaves of the bulb. Each bulb can develop into a new plant. Onions are bulbs.

Tubers

Underground stems that contain stored food. White potatoes are tubers. The "eyes: of the potato are buds which can develop into new plants.

Sporulation

When spores develop into a new organism when conditions are favorable

Grafting

A cutting from one plant, called the scion, is attached to the main body of a rooted plant, the stock. The scion keeps its own identity. Seedless oranges and grapes are propagated by grafting.
