Reproductive Technologies (HSC SSCE Biology): Flashcards

Mating organisms with desirable traits for favourable offspring

Fertile (parents are same species)

Sperm collected from male & inserted into female without mating

Frozen in liquid nitrogen

Reduces genetic diversity in populations

Egg fertilised by sperm outside mother's body

Stimulates female to produce multiple eggs in one cycle

Allows infertility genes to be inherited by offspring

Manual transfer of pollen from anthers to stigma

Increases genetic variability through hybridisation
