Asexual Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction is the process of forming a new individual from how many parents?
One Parent
What is mitosis?
When a cell is dividing or nucleus divides
When a parent organism breaks into pieces and each piece develops into a new organism
What is fragmentation?
What does DNA stand for?
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
How are the offspring similar to the parent in asexual reproduction?
Genetic Copy- Identical
Which phase of the cell cycle takes the longest?
Interphase
When a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells
What is binary fission?
Where is one place that our cells never stop growing?
Hair and Nails
What is a prokaryote?
One cell- no nucleus
Which 4 phases of the cell cycle are mitosis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
When a parent cell forms a bubble like bud and the bud can stay attached while it grows and develops or detach
What is budding?
The type of cells that may never or rarely divide
nerve cells
What is a eukaryote?
One or more cell with a nucleus
Briefly explain what takes during Interphase.
The cell is growing, maturing, copying it's DNA, and preparing for division.
When a new plant grows from part of a parent plant
What is vegetative propagation?
What is an advantage to asexual reproduction?
Fast, no need to find a mate.
What are the 4 different types of asexual reproduction?
Budding, Fragmentation, Binary Fission, Regeneration, Vegetative Propagation, Sporulation
List all 6 phases of the cell cycle in the order they take place.
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
An organism can form from a part of the original organism
what is regeneration
What is the relationship between mitosis and asexual reproduction?
Both produce genetically identical results.
What type of cells undergo mitosis?
Mitosis involves somatic (body cells)
