Basics
A bacterial population starts at 1 bacteria. The population does binary fission every 20 minutes. How many bacteria will there be afer 80 minutes.

What does mitosis allow? (what does it do)
Mitosis allows cell growth and repair.
What type of organisms use binary fission? (an example of one)
Bacteria, archaebacteria, prokaryotes
What is the process of cell division called in eukaryotes?
Mitosis
What is binary fission?
The division of one cell into two.
Name three basic steps of binary fission in order:
DNA is replicated, DNA moves to either side, cell wall is made, THEY SPLIT!
What one of these options is a pro of Asexual Reproduction. A. Asexual organisms are very simple, so the process is fast. B. The organism becomes less adapted to certain environmental changes. C. It creates less genetic variation.
A.
How do you know a population has reached its carrying capacity?
The population size levels off
What is a type of growth called when it doubles at a consistant rate, producing a rapid increase in population size?
Exponential growth
What type of organism has a nucleus
Eukaryotes!
What is true about daughter cells compared to the original cell? (In binary fission)
They are identical
What are two reasons that a population has reached its carryign capacity?
answers include: space, food, shelter, disease, too many predators, stress, overcrowding
