Types of Asexual Reproduction
Certain bacteria, microorganisms, and fungi can produce spores which are single cells that can turn into new organisms.
Spore Formation
How many phases are in Mitosis?
5
What is a clone?
Identical genetic copy of its parent.
New organisms develop from a bud of an existing copy, remaining attached until they are fully matured.
Budding
What are the three stages of the cell cycle?
1. Interphase
2. Mitosis
3. Cytokinesis
What kind of cells is important for therapeutic cloning?
Stem cells
Cells in plants develop into structures that form new plants.
Vegetative Reproduction
Name all the phases in Mitosis.
1. Early Prophase
2. Late Prophase
3. Metaphase
4. Anaphase
5. Telophase
What two cells are being "fused" during reproductive cloning?
Mammary gland cell and egg cell
A broken part of an organism grows into a clone of the parent/original.
Fragmentation
What happens in an animal cell during cytokinesis?
Cell membranes pinch together to divide cytoplasm and duplicated organelles.
What is the purpose of Reproductive Cloning?
To produce a genetic duplicate of an existing or dead organism deliberately.
Separation of a single cell into two new bodies where genetic material/DNA is duplicated into two parts.
Binary Fission
Describe one checkpoint that must be passed for cells to divide.
OPT#1: There are enough nutrients to support cell growth AND the DNA is undamaged.
OPT#2: DNA within the nucleus has been replicated AND the DNA is undamaged.
OPT#3: Chromosomes correctly divided in Mitosis.
Name one advantage of Asexual Reproduction.
