Asexual Reproduction
Yeast cell reproduction quickly by budding. This is a type of ___ reproduction so all the yeast cells are ___.
What is asexual reproduction and identical?
The type of cell division in which each daughter cell receives the same number of chromosomes the parent cell had is known as this.
What is mitosis?
A malignant growth resulting from uncontrolled cell division is known as this.
What is cancer?
Meiosis is the process by which gametes are produced. Meiosis occurs in these human organs.
What are the testes and the ovaries?
Homologous chromosomes do this during prophase I of meiosis.
What is crossing-over in which alleles are exchanged?
DNA must be replicated for this reason.
What is when cells reproduce, each new cell needs a copy of the DNA
The correct order of the stages of mitosis is this.
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase? (PMAT)
Some viruses (like HPV), cigarette smoke, and radiation are known to cause cancer. These are known as this.
What is a carcinogen?
The chromosomes for a human male and a female are these, respectively.
What are XY (male) and XX for a female?
Meiosis and fertilization are important for the survival of many species because these two processes result in this.
What is genetic variation?
A disadvantage of asexual reproduction is this.
What is genetic information is passed from parent to offspring with no genetic variation?
During cell division a chromosome is made of two distinct strands called this.
What are chromatids?
You can reduce your risk of cancer by doing these four things.
What is using sunscreen to protect your skin when outside, eating a diet low in fat and full of fruits and vegetables, don't smoke or use tobacco products, and exercising?
An advantage that sexual reproduction has over asexual reproduction is this.
What is it leads to greater genetic diversity in a population?
Meiosis I is often called "reduction division" due to this reason.
The greatest advantage of to asexual reproduction is this.
What is allows for rapid increase of species population?
The cells that make up our body are known as these type of cells.
What are somatic cells?
The phase of mitosis in which chromsomes line up in the middle of the cells is called this.
What is metaphase?
Mendel hypothesized that reproductive cells have only one factor for each inherited trait. This hypothesis is supported by what observation?
That haploid cells are produced by meiosis.
If the diploid number of body cells in an organism is 20, then its haploid number is this.
What is 10?
The end result of mitosis, a form of asexual reproduction, is this.
What are two daughter cells that are identical to one another?
The phase of the mitosis in which chromatids are separated from one another and pulled to opposite ends of the cell is called this.
What is anaphase?
DNA replication occurs during this phase of the cell cycle.
What is interphase?
The number of chromosomes in a normal human sperm or egg cell is this.
What is 23?
Meiosis begins with this many cells and ends with this many daughter cells.
What is begin with one cell and ends with four haploid cells?
