matching continental margins
fossil evidence of species: Glossopteris and Gangamopteris
the position of mid-ocean ridges and plate spreading zones
8

4 haploid (n) daughter cells
4 diploid (2n) daughter cells
2 haploid (n) daughter cells
2 diploid (2n) daughter cells
11
Internal fertilisation does NOT require:
appropriate timing of male/female cycles
a large number of gametes
close proximity of an appropriate mate
a moist (fluid) environment
12
The process by which male plant gametes is received by the female plant structure is called:
Pollination
Conception
Reception
Stigmatisation
13

15
External fertilisation does NOT require:
appropriate environmental conditions
a moist (fluid) environment
parents to raise offspring

16
What factor might trigger a Sturt's Desert Pea to undergo asexual reproduction?
any conditions
poor conditions
absence of pollinators
good conditions
17
Meiosis is different in mitosis because:
more than one daughter cell is produced
