zygote
The new cell that forms from fertilization
budding
a new organism grows by mitosis and cell division on the body of its parent
fertilization
an egg cell and a sperm cell join together
haploid
cells that have only one chromosome from each pair
diploid
cells that have pairs of chromosomes
sperm
forms in a testis
egg
forms in an ovary
vegetative reproduction
is a form of asexual reproduction in which offspring grow from a part of a parent plant
cloning
is a type of asexual reproduction performed in a laboratory that produces identical individuals from a cell or from a cluster of cells taken from a multicellular organism
sexual reproduction
is a type of reproduction in which the genetic materials from two different cell combine, producing an offspring
regeneration
occurs when an offspring grow from a piece of its parent
meiosis
one diploid cell divides and makes four haploid sex cells
asexual reproduction
one parent organism produces offspring without meiosis and fertilization
Sexual Reproduction
produces an offspring when genetic materials from two different sex cells combine.
fission
Cell division in prokaryotes that forms two identical cells
homologous chromosomes
Pairs of chromosomes that have genes for the same traits arranged in the same order
