What is the process of forming a new individual from how many parents?
One Parent
100

What is mitosis? (key product)

When a cell is dividing.

100
a new organism grows by mitosis and cell division on the body of its parent.
What is budding?
100

Where are the chromosomes held in the cell?

Nucleus

100

Describe 1/3 checkpoints in the cell cycle.

1. cell must be repaired, chromosomes have not attached, have not moved to poles.

2. cell lacks nutrients or DNA damage.

3. DNA not replicated or DNA is damaged. 

200

How similar are the offspring to the parent in asexual reproduction?

Identical

200
Which phase of the cell cycle takes the longest?
Interphase
200
What is binary fission?
When a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells
200

Stem Cells

Cells that have the potential to develop into many different types of cells. 

200
Where is one place that our cells never stop growing?
Hair and Nail
300

What is the name of a cell (unicellular) that does NOT have a nucleus?

What is a prokaryote?

300

Which 4 phases of the cell cycle make up mitosis?

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

300

How does budding produce a new organisms?

by mitosis and cell division when it is big enough, it can break.

300
What does a chromatid carry?
DNA
300
What is an advantage to asexual reproduction?
Doesn't need a mate.
400

What is the name of one or more cells that have a nucleus?

What is a eukaryote?

400

Briefly explain what takes during Interphase.

The cell is growing, maturing, copying it's DNA, and preparing for division.

400

How does fragmentation produce new organisms?

offspring grow from a piece of its parent.

400
Why are spindle fibers important?
They break the sister chromatids apart during anaphase.
400

What is a disadvantage of asexual reproduction? 

No diversity. 

500

What are the 5 types of asexual reproduction?

Fission, mitotic cell division, budding, regeneration, vegetative reproduction, cloning

500

MEIOSIS and FERTILIZATION are NOT a part of asexual reproduction? True or False

True

500

What are three types of asexual reproduction, and give 1 example for each type.

Budding; yeast, Binerian fission; Bacteria, Vegetative reproduction; potato.

500
What is the difference between a chromatid and a chromosome?
Chromatid = 1 strand, Chromosome = 2 strands
500
Why the offspring of asexual reproduction are genetically identical to each other and to their parent?
They inherit all their DNA from one parent.
