How Organisms Reproduce

Transmission of genetic material to sustain species continuity.

Reproduction is the biological process by which existing organisms produce new individuals of their own kind. It is divided into asexual reproduction (single parent, no gametes) and sexual reproduction (two parents, fusion of gametes).

Sexual reproduction introduces genetic variation through crossing over during meiosis and random fertilization, providing the raw material for adaptation and evolution.

Key Takeaways

•Asexual reproduction forms clones (genetically identical to the parent) via fission, budding, fragmentation, or spore formation.
•Double fertilization is unique to flowering plants, forming a diploid zygote and a triploid endosperm.
•Contraception methods include mechanical barriers, chemical pills, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and surgical sterilization.

Core Concepts & Definitions

1Double Fertilization in Flowering Plants

A pollen grain produces two male gametes. One male gamete fuses with the egg cell to form a diploid zygote (syngamy). The other male gamete fuses with two polar nuclei to form a triploid primary endosperm nucleus (triple fusion).

•After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed and the ovary ripens into a fruit.
