Asexual Reproduction
True or False: In asexual reproduction, the offspring is genetically identical to the parent.
True
The "life cycle" of a cell that includes growth, DNA synthesis, and cell division
The phases of mitosis, represented by "PMAT"
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
The type of cell that is produced by meiosis
What are gametes?
The type of asexual reproduction that hydra can do, in which a small growth develops on the parent and breaks off to form a new individual
What is budding?
The process of an egg and a sperm joining together
What is fertilization?
The process that divides the DNA and the nucleus in a cell
What is mitosis?
In this stage, the chromosomes condense and the nuclear membrane disappears.
What is prophase?
Cells that have half the number of chromosomes as other cells in the organism, represented by the number (n)
What is haploid?
When an organism, such as a starfish, breaks into pieces, and each piece can develop into a new individual
What is fragmentation?
Another name for a fertilized egg
What is a zygote?
The process that divides the cytoplasm and creates two new cells
What is cytokinesis?
In this stage, the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
These are separated in anaphase I, of meiosis I
What are homologous pairs of chromosomes?
The type of reproduction in which a parent cell, such as a bacterium, copies its DNA and then divides to make 2 cells
What is binary fission?
What is a blastocyst?
True or false: All cells go through the cells cycle at the same rate.
False
What are pulled apart and move to opposite ends of the cell in anaphase?
What are chromatids?
The type of cell that begins the process of meiosis, with a full set of chromosomes (2n)
What is diploid?
Asexual reproduction in which an unfertilized egg develops into a new organism
What is parthenogenesis?
Cells in a blastocyst that have the potential to differentiate and become any specialized cell
What are stem cells?
This is what occurs during the "S Phase" of the cell cycle.
What is DNA replication?
In this stage, two nuclear membranes form around the chromosomes at opposite ends of the cell.
What is anaphase?
The stage of meiosis in which chromatids are separated and move to opposite ends of the cells
What is anaphase II?
