Document Summary

9+2 organization: foun din cilia and flagellum, the microtubules exist as couplets with 9 on the outside surrounding one pair of microtubules in the middle. Alternation of generations: life cycle two or more distinct forms differ in habitat, appearance, reproductive method, eg in vascular plants the sporophyte is the dominant. Asexual reproduction: new individuals are produced form a single parent without the formation of gametes, can be by fission, fragmentation or budding, in plants it can be by vegetative propagation and by the formation of spores. Autotroph: an organism that can synthesize it organic nutrition from inorganic sources like carbon dioxide, green plants are photoautotrophic, bacteria are chemoautotrophic bacteria (eubacteria. , bacteriophage: a virus that can infect a bacterium, it is very specific, they penetrate infect multiply quickly and then lyse, some remain dormant for a while (lysogenic), they are used in genetic engineering as vectors. , bikont: any eukaryotic organism with 2 flagella.
