What is Asexual Reproduction?
The process that replaces old worn out body cells.
What is mitosis
The nuclei of the two gametes fuse together to produce a single cell called a ....
What is zygote?
Dormant reproductive cells that act as dispersal units
What is spores?
When a eukaryotic cell is ready to divide, each strands of chromatin coils up into a compact X-like shaped called ______________. This structure carries the information to make proteins in the cells.
What is chromosomes?
Stores the genetic information of an organism
What is DNA?
The period between cell divisions
What is interphase?
The cells from each parent that combine to produce the offspring
What is gametes?
The parent organism fragments into pieces, each of which evolve into a new organism
What is Fragmentation?
Microtubule fibers that are involved in moving chromosomes during cell division.
What is spindle fibers?
The type of reproduction that involves two genetically different parents producting a child that is a combination of both parents.
What is Sexual Reproduction?
Before a cell can divide, the chromosomes must be ...
What is copied?
Cells with half the normal number of chromosomes
What is haploid?
The cytoplasm splits into two daughter cells of equal size (genetically identical). Example: bacteria
What is binary fission?
Joined strands of the same genetic material that are separated during mitosis
What is chromatids?
Exact copies
What is clones?
3 stages of interphase (in order)?
What is G1, S, G2?
The process in which male and female gametes combine
What is fertilization?
A small unit of cells grows from the parent and later pinches off to become a separate cell. Example: Yeast.
What is budding?
_________ produce spindle fibers that attach to the centromere of the chromosome, and separate sister chromatids to opposite poles of the cell during anaphase.
What is centrioles?
____ ensures that generations will vary from one another with different genetic makeup.
What is meiosis?
In which stage of interphase does DNA replication occur? G1, S or G2
What is S?
In human, sperms are produced in ____ and eggs are produced in ____.
What is testes? What is ovaries?
New plants grow from a portion of the roots, stems, or leaves of an existing plant -> they are clones of the parent plants.
What is vegetation propagation?
Hold the sister chromatids together and plays a key role in helping the cell divide up its DNA during division (mitosis and meiosis). Specifically, it is the region where the cell’s spindle fibers attach.
What is centromere?
