Reproduction: Asexual vs. Sexual
The process by which organisms give rise to offspring.
What is reproduction?
This phase prepares the cell for division by replicating its DNA and growing in size.
What is interphase?
The main organs of the female reproductive system?
What are ovaries?
There is one parent and the offspring are identical to the parent?
What is asexual reproduction?
Reproductive cells (sperm and egg) with half the chromosome number of body cells.
What are gametes
Reproduction that produces offspring genetically identical to the one parent.
What is asexual reproduction?
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase.
WHat is Mitosis?
These tubes transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.
What are fallopian tubes?
Body of parent breaks and produces offspring; offspring is identical to parent.
What is regeneration?
When one arm of a chromatid crosses over the arm of another chromatid.
What is crossing over?
Type of cell division resulting in two daughter cells genetically identical to the parent cell.
What is mitosis?
Has one set of chromosomes
What is a haploid?
The process of egg maturation, ovulation, and uterine lining shedding, occurring approximately every 28 days.
What is menstruation?
Offspring grows out of parent; spores come from spore-case; offspring is identical to parent.
What is sporulation?
This process involves two rounds of division
What is meiosis
Type of cell division resulting in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.
What is meiosis?
Has two sets of chromosomes
What is a diploid?
Release of a mature egg from the ovary.
What is ovulation?
Offspring grows out of parent; offspring is identical to parent.
What is budding?
Crossing-over, independent assortment, and random fertilization.
What causes genetic variation?
Crossing-over, independent assortment, and random fertilization.
What contributes to genetic variation?
This phase completes the cell division process by dividing the cytoplasm.
What is cytokinesis?
The hormones that the ovaries produce.
What are Estrogen and progesterone.
One parent splits in the middle; offspring is identical to parent.
What is binary fission?
this diversity help species adapt to changing environments
What is genetic variation
