Mitosis
How many chromosomes does each daughter cell have?
46
Is meiosis a form of sexual or asexual reproduction?
Sexual
How many parents does asexual reproduction require?
1
What is the difference between internal and external fertilization?
EF takes place outside the body while IF takes place inside the body
Name one of the principles of cell theory
-all cells come from pre existing cells
-cells are the building blocks of all life
-all living things are composed of one or more cells
Place the 6 stages of the cell cycle in the right order
IPMATC
How many times does the cell go through the PMAT phases?
2
What is the type of asexual reproduction where the cells contents are replicated internally, then divide into 2 new cells? (hint: similar to mitosis)
binary fission
What is one advantage of external fertilization?
Produces many offspring
Less energy
Less competetion
What is the term for when cells die naturally as a result of having a definitive life span?
Normal Cell Replacement
During which phase do the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?
Metaphase
How many chromosomes does each final daughter cell have?
23
What is the type of asexual reproduction where the new organism grows on the existing one, then breaks off from the parent? (hint: coral, hydra)
Budding
What is one disadvantage of external fertilization?
Low survival rate
No additonal care for the offspring
What cells live the longest?
Brain cells
Anaphase
What are the sperm and egg cells called?
Gametes
Mould is an example of what type of asexual reproduction?
Spores
What is one advantage of internal fertilization?
Better protection from predators
Higher survival rate
What is the term for repairing of injured cells like healing a cut? Give another example
Regeneration and tattoos
Uncontrolled mitosis is another way cells divide, what is it called?
Cancer
What is it the term for the new cell that forms when an egg and sperm fertilize together?
Zygote
What is the type of asexual reproduction where if part of the organism splits off, both the original organism and the split part can grow into a new one? Give an example
Fragmentation and starfish or worms
What is one disadvantage of external fertilization?
Small number of offspring
Need to find a mate
More energy to take care of the offspring
As cells die throughout our life, they are either not replaced or replaced more slowly, what is this called? Give an example
Aging and wrinkles etc
