Vocabulary
To make new organisms or cells of the same species.
What does reproduce mean?
1
What is the number of parents/cells needed for asexual reproduction to occur?
2
What is the number of parents/cells needed for sexual reproduction to occur?
4
What is the number of gametes (daughter cells) produced with meiosis?
This is the only kingdom of organisms that produce asexual clones called spores.
What is the Fungi Kingdom?
The male reproductive cells for plants used to pollinate the female reproductive cells in flowers.
What is pollen?
Process used for eukaryotic asexual cell reproduction.
What is mitosis?
Process used for eukaryotic sexual cell reproduction.
What is meiosis?
2 Divisions
What is meiosis?
These are 4 reasons for cells to reproduce.
What are:
Repair injuries, Replace dead/dying cells, Growth, Continue the species
The male haploid cell (gamete).
What is a sperm cell?
These are 5 examples of eukaryotic cell reproduction to make offspring.
What is Budding, Spores, Fragmentation, Vegetative Propagation, and Parthenogenesis?
When two gametes combine their DNA in the animal kingdom.
What is fertilization?
This is an example of a specialized cell.
What is a gamete, muscle cell, nerve cell, bone cell, skin cell, liver cell, blood cell, etc?
These two terms for asexual cell reproduction are similar but in two different kingdoms of organisms.
What is fragmentation (animal kingdom) and vegetative propagation (plant kingdom)?
The female haploid cell (gamete).
What is an egg cell or ovum?
Process used for prokaryotic bacteria for cell reproduction.
What is Binary Fission?
When two gametes combine their DNA in the plant kingdom.
What is pollination?
These are 2 advantages of sexual cell reproduction.
What are:
Variations in offspring, More adaptability to environment
These are 2 disadvantages of asexual cell reproduction.
What are:
Lack of variation/adaption, Could lose all offspring (die-off)
What do we call the new organisms or cells made from reproduction?
What are daughter cells or offspring?
Number of chromosomes in a typical human body cell.
What is 46?
Number of chromosomes in a typical human gamete.
What is 23?
These are 4 advantages of asexual cell reproduction.
What are:
Only needs one parent, Quick process, Clones of parents, Requires less energy, Large population can be made
These are 4 disadvantages of sexual cell reproduction.
What are:
Takes more time to produce offspring, Takes more energy to produce offspring, Needs special cells (gametes), Needs 2 parents/cells, Produces small amount of offspring
