Asexual reproduction
The number of parents needed for asexual reproduction.
One Parent
What is mitosis?
When a cell is dividing.
Asexual reproduction produces little genetic variation. Advantage or disadvantage?
What is disadvantage?
The genetic material that is duplicated during mitosis.
What is binary fission?
When a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells of the same size
What is the structure that holds the chromosome together
what is the centromere
Asexual reproduction can occur rapidly. Advantage or disadvantage?
Advantage
The type of asexual reproduction performed by prokaryotes like bacteria.
What is fission?
One reason cells undergo mitosis.
What is growth, repair, or development.
Name an organism that produces uses spores
What are mushrooms, mold and mosses
These are reproductive cells or units that are resistant to extreme heat and Cold
What is a spore?
What is an advantage to asexual reproduction?
Doesn't need a mate.
Produce large number of offspring.
What is the difference between binary fission and budding
In budding the cytoplasm divides unequally
The end result of mitosis.
What is two daughter cells identical to the parent.
In humans, the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells after mitosis.
What is 46?
Asexual reproduction does not require a mate. Advantage or disadvantage?
What is advantage?
What are two types of asexual reproduction?
Fission, mitotic cell division, budding, regeneration, vegetative reproduction, cloning
When do humans perform mitosis the basis of asexual reproduction
what is repairing tissues/damaged cells or producing somatic/body cells. growth and repair
What are two types of asexual reproduction and tell one organism that performs each type.
Budding; yeast
fission; Bacteria
Vegetative reproduction; potato
Etc.
What are tightly coiled strands of DNA called?
Chromosomes
When would asexual reproduction be better than sexual reproduction and when would sexual be better
when the environment is stable. when environment is constantly changing where some traits are more beneficial than others
