Asexual Reproduction
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What type of reproduction is described when one parent produces an offspring without meiosis | Asexual reproduction |
| Where does the offspring inherit the genetic information from during asexual reproduction? | one parent |
| Compare the genetic material of the parent and the offspring in asexual reproduction. | the genetic material of the offspring is identical to the parent |
| asexual reproduction in prokaryotes; two new daughter cells are formed | Binary fission |
| When a cell splits to form two new identical offspring in a prokaryote cells like bacteria | Binary fission |
| Asexual reproduction in unicellular eukaryotes such as amoebas and paramecium | mitosis |
| Asexual reproduction when the offspring grows off the body of the parent such as hydra | budding |
| Asexual reproduction when part grows from part or piece of the parent | regeneration |
| when offspring grows from part of parent plant: root, stem, or leaves | vegetative reproduction |
| a type of asexual reproduction that takes place in a laboratory when the DNA is take from one cell and two cells are fused together or a cluster of cells | cloning |
| advantage of asexual reproduction | *save time and energy *large number of offspring in a short period of time |
| disadvantage of asexual reproduction | lack of genetic variation |
| pairs of identical chromosomes copied during interphase | sister chromatids |
| two identical cells created from the same parent cell during Mitosis | daughter cells |
| holds together sister chromatids | centromere |
| genetic material is copied and sister chromatids are formed | interphase |
| sister chromatids line up in the middle of the cell; | metaphase |
| sister chromatids separate and spindle fibers shorten | anaphase |
| the nucleus re-appears around the chromatin to form two new identical cells | telophase |
| the nuclear membrane disappears and spindle fibers begin to form | prophase |
| the nucleus of a cell and its contents divide | mitosis |
| the cytoplasm and its contents divide | cytokinesis |
| why is mitosis important? | *replace cells *repair damage cell parts *growth |
| how many parent cells are present in asexual reproduction? | one parent cell |
| A term used to refer to chromosomes that each have a corresponding chromosome from the opposite sex parent | homologous chromosomes |
| the male sex cell in sexual reproduction; a haploid cell | sperm |
| the female sex cell in sexual reproduction; a haploid cell | egg |
| cells that have only one chromosome from each pair | haploid |
| a type of reproduction in which genetic materials from two different cells combine to make an offspring | sexual reproduction |
| cells have pairs of chromosomes | diploid cell |
| the process in which an egg cell and a sperm cell join together | fertilization |
| the process in which one diploid cell diploid divides and makes four haploid cells | meiosis |
| pairs of chromosomes that have genes for the same traits arranged in the same order | homologous chromosomes |
| a fertilized egg | zygote |
| cytoplasm divides to create two new cells | cytokinesis |
| the contents of the nucleus divide | mitosis |
| What is the purpose of mitosis? | to create two new cells that are identical to the parent cell |
