DNA
What is the shape of DNA
Double Helix
What is Sexual Reproduction
When 2 parents are needed to create a genetically different offspring
What is Asexual Reproduction
When 1 parent is need to create a genetically identical offspring
What is the name of the cell division that create body cells
Mitosis
What is the purpose of the male reproductive system
Produce sperm / Testosterone & Deliver sperm to the female reproductive system
What is DNA
Genetic code or instruction passed from child to parent
What are the disadvantages of Sexual Reproduction
Rick of disease ,Hard to find a mate (not in all cases but many), Requires a lot of ATP, or Slow
What are the advantages of Asexual Reproduction
Fast,No mate required, Save ATP,or No exposure to disease
What is the name of the cell division that creates gametes
Meiosis
What is Testosterone's purpose
stimulate the production of sperm and puberty
What is the relationship between Genes, Proteins ,& Traits
Gene (DNA) code for proteins which determines your traits
What are some advantages of Sexual Reproduction
- Less risk of extinction
- Greater genetic diversity
What are the disadvantages of Asexual Reproduction
Greater risk of extinction
What is the result of meiosis
4 genetically different haploid daughter cells
What is the purpose of the female reproductive system
Produce eggs & Support
What is Nucleotide
The basic building block of nucleic acids
Why do 99% of the population use Sexual Reproduction
Has less risk of extinction & has a greater genetic diversity
What is the offspring of Asexual Reproduction called
Clone
What is the result of mitosis
2 identical diploid daughter cells
What makes everyone's DNA different
The order of sequence
What are the name of the parents in Sexual Reproduction
Sperm & Egg
Why does only 1% of organisms use Asexual Reproduction
Risk of extinction or most organisms can't go through asexual reproduction
When does DNA replication occur in cell division
After
