Sexual Reproduction
A cell that has two sets of chromosomes
what is a diploid cell
The process in which a starfish loses a "limb"
What is fragmentation
The stages of mitosis
What is PMAT - prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
The male gamete
What is sperm
The process that happens in the cell cycle after mitosis
what is cytokinesis
Each human skin cell has this many pairs of chromosomes
what is 23
the number of parents needed for asexual reproduction
What is 1
What is interphase
The phase in which the chromatids line up
What is metaphase II
the cell spends 90% of the time in this phase of the cell cycle
what is interphase
what is Meiosis
bacteria uses this type of reproduction in which the cell is split into two equal parts
What is binary fission
Each new cell ends up with same number of chromosomes as the
what is the original cell
The product of the sperm cell meeting the egg cell
what is a zygote
The phase of meiosis in which 4 haploid cells are produced
What is telophase II
A fertilized egg cell is called a zygote. The zygote develops further for several weeks.
what is an embryo
Plants usually undergo this type of asexual reproduction
What is vegetative propagation
During this stage chromosomes become tightly coiled and visible
what is prophase
Meiosis is known as a process in which cells go from having 46 chromosomes to 26 chromosomes. The cells' chromosomes are:
an advantage of this process is protection by the female parent until offspring develops
What is internal fertilization
Sperm meets egg outside the body of the female parent
What is external fertilization
bananas undergo asexual reproduction and are all cones of each other. As a result bananas lack
During this stage, sister chromatids are now called chromosomes again
What is Anaphase
What are chromosomes and chromatids
Disadvantages of this process can be fewer offspring at a time, and higher energy input
What is internal fertilization
