Sexual vs Asexual Reproduction (VCE SSCE Biology): Flashcards

Complete collection of all alleles in a population

Fusion of two haploid gametes to produce a diploid zygote

Diploid cell formed by combination of two haploid gametes

Eggs released externally; embryos develop using yolk nutrients

Embryo develops inside mother's body, born after gestation

Flowering plants; about 90% of 400,000 known plant species

Producing offspring without fusion of gametes

Genetically identical organisms

One organism divides into two identical organisms

Embryo develops from single unfertilised gamete (virgin birth)
