This is an advantage to sexual reproduction.
What is genetic variation?
Why does DNA/chromosomes need to be replicated prior to mitosis?
If you don't replicate the DNA, the resulting cells will have half the DNA they are supposed to.
One of the three reasons mitosis happens
What is repair?
What is growth?
What is reproduction of single celled organisms?
What is the name of this image?
What is a karyotype?
this biologically important molecule is found on chromosomes
What is DNA?
In asexual reproduction, how would you describe the offspring compared to the parent?
What are clones/identical/the same?
This happens in the G1 stage of Interphase?
What is growth and cellular activities?
What do spindle fibers do during mitosis?
Attach to the centromere of the chromosomes and help pull them apart.
Which phase of mitosis is represented?
What is prophase?
This center of a chromosome (labeled B) is called what?
What is a centromere?
Yeast do this type of asexual reproduction.
What is budding?
What happens during the G2 stage of Interphase?
The cell rests and prepares for mitosis.
In plant cells what has to reform during cytokinesis?
What is a cell wall or cell plate?
In anaphase, what are the chromosomes starting to do?
What is move away from each other?
Remember anaphase=away
A pair of similar chromosomes--one from mom and one from dad
Homologous Chromosomes
Bacteria do this type of asexual reproduction?
What is binary fission?
Name a cell type that is always going through the cell cycle and one that never goes through the cell cycle.
Always: skin, lining cells
Never: nerves
What has to disappear during prophase and reform during telophase?
What is the nucleus or nuclear membrane?
What is this phase of mitosis?
What is metaphase?
Body cells that have two of each chromosome (one from mom and one from dad) Also any cells in the body that are not reproductive.
What are somatic cells?
This is the term to used for the asexual reproduction of plants.
What is vegetative reproduction?
In order, what are the three stages of Interphase?
What are G1, S and G2?
These are the four phases of mitosis in order.
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase
What happens after this step in mitosis?
What is cytokinesis?
A human cell that has 46 chromosomes is called this, which is also referred to as 2n.
What is diploid?
