Speeds up evolution due to beneficial mutations accumulating faster.
What is sexual reproduction?
100
Harder to adapt to changing environments because there is little variation/diversity in the population.
What is asexual reproduction?
100
Number of divisions in meiosis.
What is 2?
100
A paternal chromosome pairs up with the corresponding maternal chromosome. They are similar in size, centromere position, and genes, but DNA sequences are not identical.
What are homologous chromosomes.
100
Number of chromosomes a gamete has.
What is n? What is haploid?
200
Can reproduce sexually and asexually.
What some eukaryotes?
200
Reproduce through binary fission.
What are prokaryotes only?
200
Phase when chromatids are pulled apart.
What is anaphase II?
200
Genes that are more likely to crossover.
What are genes that are far apart?
200
Stage in which crossing over occurs.
What is Prophase I and Metaphase I?
300
Increases genetic diversity.
What is sexual reproduction?
300
Results in genetically identical offspring.
What is asexual reproduction?
300
Decreases the chromosome number by half.
ex. 78 -> 39
What is meiosis?
300
Process that allows an offspring to inherit a chromosome with a gene that was previously on it's homologous partner.
What is crossing over?
300
Crossing over, independent assortment, and random fertilization.
What are ways to provide new genetic combinations?
What are sources of genetic diversity/variation?
400
Few offspring, uses a lot of energy, and takes a long time.
What are disadvantages of sexual reproduction?
400
Types of asexual reproduction.
What are fission, fragmentation, and budding?
400
Stage that first causes the cell to go from 2n -> n.
What is Anaphase I?
400
Number of chromosomes in human sperm or egg.
What is 23?
400
Genetically identical to the parent.
What is a clone?
500
Process when gametes join.
What is fertilization?
500
Type of cell division cell undergo when doing asexual reproduction.
