Meiosis
A Haploid cell contains how much of an organisms chromosomes
half
This state produces the most potatoes
Idaho
When an offspring grows from a piece of its parent (like starfish)
Regeneration
If 5 cells undergo meiosis, how many haploid cells are produced?
5 X 4= 20 haploid cells
When individuals in a population inherit different traits that can give them advantages to survive
Genetic Variation
These potatoes are orange!
Sweet potatoes
Which is the inherited trait? Milo's fur or his love of fetch!
His Fur!
If 10 cells undergo meiosis, how many haploid cells are produced?
10 X 4 = 40
A normal body cell is called..
Diploid
Mr. Potato is a character from this movie
Toy Story
Performed in a lab - it produces identical individuals from multicellular organisms
Cloning
If 44 Gametes are produced, how many diploid cells underwent meiosis?
44 / 4 = 11 diploid cells
The process where four haploid cells are made
Meiosis
What type of asexual reproduction do potatoes use?
Vegetative Reproduction
This cell division in prokaryotes forms two genetically identical cells (like in bacteria!)
Fission
A diploid cell in a bumble bee has 32 chromosomes. After meiosis, how many chromosomes will each haploid cell have?
Meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half. Therefore, each haploid cell will have 16 chromosomes (32/2 = 16).
List a pro and a con of both asexual and sexual reproduction
Sexual Reproduction
Pros: Genetic variation
Cons: Takes a lot of energy, organism must mature,
Asexual Reproduction
Pros: No mate, faster
Cons: Little genetic variation, mutations can be passed on more easily
Name four ways to enjoy potatoes
Fries, hashbrowns, boiled, baked potato, mashed, cheesy, crispy
A new organism uses mitosis to grow onto the body of its parent. (like yeast or coral)
Budding
If 15 cells undergo meiosis and make 60 gamete cells (reproductive cells), and each of those go through meiosis, how many gamete cells do I have?
240 Gametes
