Types of Reproduction
The type of reproduction that requires two parents, creating greater genetic variety
What is sexual reproduction?
Phase where genetic material condenses, chromosomes become visible
What is prophase?
Packages of bundled DNA, found in the nuclei of cells
What are chromosomes?
Stimulate growth and division in cells
What are growth factors?
Process by which cells become specialized
What is differentiation?
A type of reproduction requiring only 1 parent; offspring are genetically identical to the parent
What is asexual reproduction?
Phase where chromosomes separate and move along spindle fibers to opposite ends of cell
What is anaphase?
Consists of DNA wrapped around a protein
What is chromatin?
A disorder in which body cells lose the ability to control growth
What is cancer?
Hollow ball of cells, forms from an embryo
What is a blastocyst?
A type of asexual reproduction occurring in bacteria
What is binary fission?
Phase where chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell
What is metaphase?
IPMAT
What is interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase?
Mass of cells that forms when a person has cancer
What is a tumor?
Unspecialized cells from which differentiated cells develop
What are stem cells?
A type of asexual reproduction occurring in animals such as the hydra
What is budding?
Phase where chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin; final phase of mitosis
What is telophase?
Consists of G1, S and G2 phases
What is interphase?
Process of programmed cell death
What is apoptosis?
Stem cells that can develop into any of the body's cell types
What are pluripotent cells?
A type of asexual reproduction occurring in plants; plantlets on the edges of leaves drop off and become plants of their own
What is vegetative propagation?
Completes the process of cell division by dividing the cell into two
What is cytokinesis?
Structure that forms during cytokinesis in plant cells to separate the two new daughter cells
What is the cell plate?
Surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy
What are three ways to treat cancer?
Type of stem cells that are limited to only replacing cells in the tissues where they are found
What are multipotent cells?
