What is anaphase II (2)
The shape of DNA
What is the double helix (or twisted ladder)
Which form of asexual reproduction is used by prokaryotic organisms like bacteria?
What is binary fission
Which form of cell division is involved in sexual reproduction
What is meiosis
What are the structures called that pull the chromosomes to the opposite poles of the cell?
What are the spindle fibers
The process during prophase I that ensures more genetic variation
What is crossing over?
The form of DNA when a cell is ready to reproduce/divide
What are chromosomes
Which form of asexual reproduction is used by some plants such as potatoes?
What is vegetative reproduction
Identify and explain the main advantage of sexual reproduction
What is genetic diversity/variation, which allows for adaptation to changing environments to increase chance of survival
At the end of mitosis, one diploid mother cell produces...
What is the two diploid daughter cells?
What is the name of the event in which chromosome pairs line up randomly, and which phase of meiosis does it occur?
What is independent assortment, during metaphase I
The form of DNA when a cell is in interphase
What is chromatin
What are 2 advantages of asexual reproduction
What is only one parent needed
What is faster process
What is having the same suitable traits as the parent
What is offsprings reach maturity faster so can immediately reproduce themselves
Identify and explain 1 disadvantage of sexual reproduction
What is needing to find a partner, which exposes organism to predators, disease, or harsh environments
What is a slower process, due to needing to find a mate, or needing to wait for offspring to reach maturity before they can reproduce
What is needing to use energy to provide parental care to offspring
