Adult stage in the life cycle of a fly is responsible for its role as a potential disease
spreader.
Tadpole stage of a frog’s life cycle lives in water and uses gills to breathe.
Adult stage of the butterfly life cycle is responsible for pollination.
Larva stage do houseflies help in nutrient cycling by feeding on decaying matter.
Nymph is NOT part of the butterfly life cycle.
In the life cycle of a mosquito, pupa stage occurs after larva.
Earthworms considered helpful to the environment because they decompose organic
material, enriching the soil
Frog, which undergoes egg → tadpole → froglet → adult
They have a backbone made up of vertebrae is a key characteristic of vertebrates
They reproduce faster and adapt easily, invertebrates, though generally smaller in size,
be more abundant and diverse than other animal groups
A frog has a backbone can be classified as a vertebrate
Controlling mosquito populations by using mosquito nets and insecticides to reduce
mosquito populations and prevent the spread of diseases
Internal fertilization does dogs use in their reproductive process
Any two earthworms can mate being hermaphroditic help earthworms maintain their
population
Budding be beneficial for hydras in certain environments It allows rapid population
growth in stable environments.
To process complex behaviors vertebrates, have a highly developed nervous system
compared to invertebrates
Invertebrates a group is most likely to reproduce asexually, considering their
reproductive strategist
An aquatic plant benefit from air-filled tissues (aerenchyma) to trap animals
To Drain excess water, do drip tips on rainforest plant leaves help the plant survive
Strawberry plants growing runners shows how a plant uses asexual reproduction to
produce new individuals
Asexual reproduction could be a disadvantage for plants in changing environments It
produces genetically identical offspring, limiting adaptability
Cactus plants have spines instead of leaves to protect against herbivores and reduce
water loss
Some rainforest plants have large, broad leaves to capture more sunlight for
photosynthesis in low-light conditions
Sexual reproduction in plants Involves the fusion of male and female gametes
Roots is most commonly involved in asexual reproduction, considering its ability to
regenerate new plants
SCIENCE REVIEWER
Sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity Because it combines genetic material
from two parent plants
A potato plant sprouting new plants from its tubers a plant using asexual reproduction
rather than sexual reproduction through seed
Stem cutting a method involves placing a cut stem in soil or water to encourage root
growth
Marcotting a technique is a plant branch wounded and wrapped in moist material to
help it grow roots while still attached to the parent plant.
The absence of vascular tissue limits non-vascular plants compared to vascular plants
they are unable to transport water and nutrients efficiently
Spores that require water for fertilization a method do non-vascular plants primarily use
for reproduction
Grafting primarily used for in plant propagation to combine desirable traits from two
plants
A gardener chooses grafting over stem cuttings when propagating fruit trees to combine
traits from two different plants into one
Most shaded environments ideal for non-vascular plants because they lack a vascular
system and rely on direct water absorption
Vascular plants generally able to grow taller and larger than non-vascular plants they
have specialized tissues for water and nutrient transport
Grafting to propagate a plant to keep a disease-resistant root system while still
producing high-quality fruits
Stem cutting a method is most suitable for plants that do not readily produce seeds and
require identical offspring
A gardener chooses grafting over stem cuttings when propagating fruit trees to produce
plants that are genetically identical to the parent
