Solutions
Alpine CORRECT ANS-Similar to Tundra, Lacks permafrost,
Budding CORRECT ANS-Form of asexual reproduction in which a bud/protrusion forms on
an organism and eventually breaks off to form a new organism that is smaller than its parent
Fragmentation CORRECT ANS-A type of asexual reproduction in which one organism is
broken into pieces, each of which develops into a new individual
Parthenogenesis CORRECT ANS-A type of asexual reproduction in which females produce
eggs that are not fertilized by males but divide by mitosis and develop into new individuals.
What two basic processes describe Sexual reproduction CORRECT ANS-Meiosis and
fertilization
Advantages of asexual reproduction CORRECT ANS-Exponential population growth,
everyone can reproduce

Solutions
External Fertilization CORRECT ANS-Egg and sperm released directly into the water. Low
chances, but countered by producing large numbers of gametes, or other strategies
Internal Fertilization CORRECT ANS-Fertilization takes place inside the body of the female.
Considered an adaption for land animals
R-Strategists CORRECT ANS-organisms that produce large numbers of offspring without a
lot of parental investment. Mainly found in unstable changing environments.
K-Strategists CORRECT ANS-organisms that produce few offspring but put in a lot of
parental investment. Mainly found in stable environments where there is lots of competition.
Amnion CORRECT ANS-a membrane surrounding a fluid filled cavity that allows the
embryo to develop in a watery environment. Huge impact on animals abilities to reproduce
w/o water.
Allantois CORRECT ANS-Encloses a space within the egg where metabolic waste collects
, Exam-UCONN Biology 1108 exam 3 with Complete
Solutions
Chorion CORRECT ANS-surrounds the entire embryo along with its yolk and allantoic sac.
Limits water loss and allows has exchange within environment.
Cleavage CORRECT ANS-First set of mitotic division after fertilization of zygote. Single large
egg divides into many smaller cells.
Morula CORRECT ANS-A solid ball of cells that results from cleavage
Blastula CORRECT ANS-Further cell divisions after the morula result in the blastula, a fluid
filled ball of cells. Marks the beginning of implantation into the uterine lining.
Pregnancy CORRECT ANS-The carrying of one or more embryos in the uterus
First Trimester CORRECT ANS-Embryo develops all of its major organs and becomes
recognizably human. becomes a fetus toward the end of the first trimester
