Asexual Reproduction
What type of asexual reproduction can be observed in an organism where it duplicates its DNA and then splits into two identical cells?
BINARY FISSION
A species of insect rapidly increases its population in a stable environment.
TRUE OR FALSE:
An advantage of asexual reproduction is rapid reproduction without needing a mate.
TRUE
How many chromosomes do sex cells or gametes have?
23 chromosomes
Who is the father of genetics?
GREGOR MENDEL
What is the segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait?
GENE
What type of asexual reproduction shows an outgrowth on the side of the body and then detaches forming a new organism?
BUDDING
A disease suddenly spreads through a population that reproduces asexually, causing many individuals to die.
TRUE OR FALSE:
The outcome is due to an increase of genetic diversity among the population
FALSE
Which cell division is used for the production of gametes?
MITOSIS or MEIOSIS
MEIOSIS
What do you call the square that predicts the possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring based on the alleles inherited from the parent?
PUNNETT SQUARE
What is the function of mitosis in the body?
GROWTH and REPAIR
What do you call the type of asexual reproduction wherein a new plant grow from a part of the parent plant?
VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION
If a coral has a mutation and does budding. Would the new coral have a mutation too? Explain why
What do you call the process wherein homologous chromosomes exchange DNA segments that happen during prophase I?
What is the ratio of offspring who will have brown eyes and blue eyes in the cross between a homozygous blue eyes (bb) and a heterozygous blue eyes (Bb)?
2 - Brown eyes
2 - Blue eyes
What do you call the type of asexual reproduction wherein spores come out of the organisms that can create new individuals?
SPORE FORMATION or SPORULATION
A planaria can asexually reproduce through fragmentation. What is the ability of an organism wherein they can regrow a missing part of their body?
REGENERATION
An organism reproduces asexually. Explain the DNA of the parent cell compared to the daughter cell.
The daughter cells have identical DNA to the parent cell
In what phase of cell division do the chromosomes align in the center of the cell right before they separate?
METAPHASE
What is the genotypic ratio if you cross a heterozygous Red (Rr) flower to another heterozygous red (Rr) flower?
1:2:1
What is the proper sequence of cell division?
Prophase > Metaphase > Anaphase > Telophase
What do you call the ability of some organisms wherein they cut themselves off to escape a predator?
AUTOTOMY
Why is it an advantage to have more genetic diversity in a population?
Will give more chances of survivability and adaptability
What process involves homologous chromosome pairs aligning randomly at the cell's metaphase plate, causing genes on different chromosomes to sort into gametes independently of one another?
INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT
What is the difference between heredity and variation?
Heredity is the passing of traits from parents to offspring while variation is the difference of offspring from one another
What is the difference of a phenotype and genotype?
Phenotype shows the observable physical traits while genotype is the genetic makeup of a trait
