| asexual reproduction | produces offspring with only one parent |
| heredity | the passing of traits from parent to offspring |
| larva | wormlike organism with form different than its parent |
| life cycle | stages of an animal's growth & development |
| metamorphosis | process of change during an insect's development |
| nymph | young insect that looks like an adult |
| pupa | stage in metamorphosis when adult tissues & organs form |
| sexual reproduction | produces offspring with two parents |
| two types of asexual reproduction | budding & regeneration |
| regeneration | whole animal reproduces from just a part of the original-ex. planaria |
| budding | bud forms, develops, & breaks off forming new organism-ex. hydra |
| life span | how long an animal can be expected to live |
| fertilization | sperm & egg join in sexual reproduction |
| embryo | developing structure created when sperm & egg join |
| female sex cell | egg |
| male sex cell | sperm |
| platypus | mammal that lays eggs |
| traits | characteristics of an organism |
| egg, nymph, adult | stages of incomplete metamorphosis |
| egg, larva, pupa, adult | stages of complete metamorphosis |
| grasshoppers & damselflies | undergo incomplete metamorphosis |
| mealworms & butterflies | undergo complete metamorphosis |
| general pattern of animal development | birth, growth, reproduction, death |
| Human Life Cycle | birth, infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, death |
| reproduction | the making of new animals |
| cloning | asexual reproduction produces exact copies of the parent |
