Growth and Development Name___________________________of Organisms Study Guide 7th Grade PSI List the three parts of Cell Theory.Describe the purpose of mitosis.List and describe the stages of mitosis. Be sure to identify the major structures and their position at each phase.Sketch the phases and label major structures.Explain the difference between mitosis in plant cells versus animal cells.Why do species reproduce?Describe the differences and similarities between asexual and sexual reproduction.Describe and provide an example of the different types of asexual reproduction listed below:Binary fissionRegenerationBuddingVegetative propagationExplain why some plants must be cloned in order for them to have offspring.Describe the disadvantages of asexual reproduction. Are there any advantages of asexual reproduction?Define fertilization. Does fertilization apply to sexual or asexual reproduction? Justify your answer.List the sex cells for plants.List the sex cells for animals?Compare the number of chromosomes in an organism to those in the sex cells. Describe the process of meiosis. What is the purpose of meiosis? Describe the advantages of sexual reproduction. Are there any disadvantages of sexual reproduction? Explain the difference between k-selected and r-selected species.List three examples of k-selected organisms.List three examples of r-selected organisms.Why are reproductive strategies used by animals?List the three requirements for animal reproduction.Name five strategies that animals use to attract and find mates.How can an animal find a mate over long distances?Explain why some animals have internal fertilization while others have external fertilization. Provide an example to support your answer.Describe the primary difference between internal and external development of offspring.Give two different examples of how animals parent their offspring. What is unique about mammals and the parenting of their offspring?Do plants reproduce asexually or sexually? Explain.Define pollination and describe its purpose.What is a pollinator? Provide at least three examples of pollinators.Describe each flower structure and its role in plant reproduction. State if the structure is male, female or neither:stamenfilamentantherpistilstigmastyleovaryovulesExplain at least three different ways plants attract pollinators. What is the cost of attracting pollinators?What do the seeds of a fruit tell you about the fertilization of that fruit plant? What female structure is a fruit?What is seed dispersal and why is it important?Describe three different way seeds are dispersed. Define germination. Explain its role in plant reproduction.Two organisms have the exact same genetic information but grow up with different shape and size. Explain how this is possible.Provide an example of how each of the following factors may affect plant and animal growth:windwatersoil nutrients temperatureDescribe what is meant by “nuture vs. nature”.What examples of cause and effect were learned through the Yellowstone Park removal of predators? Describe at least three examples.Explain whether or not living things affect the environment. Provide an example.Important diagrams: Label each diagram below identifying important parts. The last one has been labeled for you but you should identify what the diagram represents.17145002349500 1143000449580001143000319278000 ................
