Asexual Reproduction
How many parent are need for asexual reproduction to occur?
only one parent cell
How many parents are needed for sexual reproduction to occur?
2 parents
The process by which the chromosome number is halved.
meiosis
The process that results in new cells with genetic material that is identical to the original cell
mitosis
I contain pieces of DNA that carry information to offspring.
chromosomes
Are the daughter cell the same or different from the parent cell?
Exactly the same
Are the offspring exactly the same or different from the parents? Why?
The offspring are different because they get characteristics from the father and the mother
The number of cycles that meiosis goes through.
two cycles
The number of phases in mitosis.
Four phases
I am where the chromosomes are found.
nucleus
Name the four type of asexual reproduction
Binary fission, Budding, Fragmentation/Regeneration, Vegetative Propagation
What is fertilization?
When a male cell (sperm) joins with a female cell (egg/ovum) to create a new organism
The process in meiosis that ensures more genetic variation.
crossing over
the longest phase in mitosis where chromosomes condense
prophase
what do DNA stand for?
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Which type of asexual reproduction do most bacteria use?
Binary Fission
What is the difference between internal fertilization and external fertilization?
Internal fertilization happens inside the body, while external fertilization happens outside of the body
The phase of meiosis where crossing over occurs?
prophase
This is the location in your body where mitosis takes place
body cells
what are DNA made up of?
nucleotides, adenine
Which type of asexual reproduction do plants generally use?
Vegetative Propagation
What happens during pollination?
During pollination, pollen from the anther (male) is moved to the pistil (female), where it will travel down to the egg to fertilize it. This causes a seed to form
This is placed after the phase to indicate the cycle that it is in.
roman numeral
The purpose of mitosis
replacement of damaged cells or growth
What are the four pairs of DNA bases that form in the double helix?
thymine, guanine, adenine, cytosine
