General
What do Unicellular (one-celled) organisms depend on?
What is mitosis?
Process where a single parent cell divides to make two new daughter cells
What is a daughter and parent cell?
Daughter - Cell formed after reproduction
Parent - Source of other cells
Areas of an individual undergo repeated mitosis and cell division and can develop into an identical organism (detaching off from the parent).
Budding
The number of parents needed for asexual reproduction.
Plant stems and plant roots divide repeatedly to form structures that will eventually develop into a plant identical to the parent.
Vegetative reproduction
Type of asexual reproduction where foods like cheese and yogurt are created
Binary Fission
Name two types of asexual reproduction
Binary Fission, Budding, Fragmentation, Vegetative Reproduction, Spore Formation
A single parent cell replicates its genetic material and divides into two equal parts
Binary Fission
Name one advantage and one disadvantage of asexual reproduction.
*marked on spot*
Forming single-celled spores, a reproductive cell that grows into a new individual by mitosis.
Spore formation
Name the two types of Human Assisted Vegetative Reproduction
Cutting method: Plant cut and placed in special growing substance. Causes some cells to develop into roots.
Grafting method: Scions are attached to rootstalk of another similar plant (grows off).
Where an organism breaks into parts that each develop into a clone of its parent.
Fragmentation
How does Therapeutic Cloning work and what is the objective?
Goal: Correcting health problems
Stem cells: cells that have the potential to become many different types of cells
Stem cells used to begin embryonic development for replacement of 'bad' cells
