Asexual/Sexual
Which type of reproduction is it when 1 parent cell reproduces with going through meiosis or fertilization?
asexual reproduction
Female eggs are stored in...
ovaries
What is the purpose of chromosomes?
carry on genetic material
Cell that has only half the number of chromosomes is called a:
haploid cell
Production of offspring from two parents is called...
sexual reproduction
What is an advantage of asexual reproduction?
lots of offspring in a little amount of time
What happens during fertilization?
sperm cell joins with egg cell
Pairs of chromosomes that code for the same trait are called...
homologous chromosomes
What is produced by meiosis?
4 haploid daughter cells
When farmers breed organisms for desired traits
Selective breeding
What is an advantage of sexual reproduction?
genetic variation
What does NOT occur in asexual reproduction?
offspring, copying of DNA, fertilization
fertilization
Number of chromosomes in a diploid cell
46 or 23 pairs
Which phase in meiosis do the sister CHROMATIDS separate?
Anaphase II
Reproducing plants using selective breeding is called:
Vegetative reproduction
Which type of cell division will a bacteria cell go through?
Fission, regeneration, budding, cloning
Fission
Once fertilization occurs, what happens to that cell next?
cell division or mitosis
The splitting of the cytoplasm
Cytokinesis
What phase do the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?
metaphase I
Type of asexual reproduction where the offspring forms on the body of the parent, and pinches off.
budding
A sea star reproduces another organism from one of its arms. What type of asexual reproduction is this?
regeneration
