R-selected Vs. K-selected reproducers
Asexual reproduction (and types)
Sexual reproduction (and styles- ie; polyandry etc;)
Plant pollination and reproduction (Asexual vs. sexual- watch the videos)

Life Cycles - Task for completion
Understanding adaptation and reproduction in context allows us to appreciate how organisms adapt to survive and thrive in an ever changing ecosystem.
Your task is to select 1 plant and 1 organism and study their life cycle
In each case describe
Your task is to select 1 plant and 1 organism and study their life cycle
In each case describe
- How the organism and plant reproduces (Asexual/sexual, mating characteristics, parenting style)
- Distinguish how the reproductive style impacts the genetic diversity of the species and how it relates to the population of this species (ie; rapid growths with high mortality rates of offspring).
In relation to your chosen plant, describe how its reproductive method relates to distribution and abundance of this plant (ie; are seeds transported to other areas, is reproduction dependant on fire or storm or a third party) - Any adaptations - physiological or structural or behavioural that they use to improve survival of offspring and to improve species survival (eg; laying eggs on food source, protecting seeds in hard casing)
