Cell Division
The four reasons for cell division.
What is growth, development, repair, and reproduction?
Mitosis
What is the part of the cell cycle where the cell divides into two daughter cells
Asexual reproduction's characteristics
What is the process where one parent organism reproduces, creating offspring identical to itself.
DNA
The only reason unicellular organisms go through cell division
What is reproduction?
What is the main characteristic of the two new daughter cells
They are identical to each other/parent cell
Binary fission
What is the type of asexual reproduction where a unicellular organism splits into two cells
Why chromosomes form in the nucleus before cell division.
What is to get organized and be easier to divide between cells
How people grow
What is cells divide to make more cells, and make people taller!
Interphase
What is the biggest phase of the cell cycle, where the cell does it's regular job without dividing.
The only type of organism that goes through binary fission.
What is unicellular organisms
Why you can go from okay in the morning, to really sick in the evening.
What is binary fission, and the rapid reproduction rate of bacteria
What does it mean that cells "develop" using cell division?
Cells divide to specialize into different types of cells. Or organisms would just be one big blog of identical cells!
The steps of the cell cycle, in order
What is interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
Budding
What is the type of asexual reproduction where an organism grows a smaller version of itself on its body until it is large enough to live on its own.
The four characteristics of living things
What is growth/development, reproduction, response to environment, and organization
How many cells does every organism start off as?
One! Then the cell divides so the organism can grow/develop.
The phase in mitosis where the chromatids are separated to the sides of the cells.
What is anaphase?
The two types of regeneration
What is when an organism regrows one of its limbs, and when two halves of an organism can regrow to form two separate identical organisms
The main differences between sexual and asexual reproduction
Asexual reproduction = one parent, identical to parent, faster rate of reproduction
