LD BIO Additional Notes Mitosis and Asexual Reproduction

QuestionAnswer
MITOSIS the asexual process of dividing the hereditary material in the parent cell into two identical daughter cells.
CYTOKINESIS when the cytoplasm divides
ASEXUAL the type of reproduction that requires one parent and produces identical offspring
SEXUAL the type of reproduction that usually has 2 parents and produces varied offspring
CELL CYCLE includes interphase and the stages of mitosis
CHROMATIN nuclear DNA that exists in a mass of thin, twisted threads usually found in Interphase.
CHROMOSOMES rodlike structures in the nucleus that contain hereditary information usually made of 2 chromatid sisters
PROPHASE doubled chromosomes (2 chromatid sisters joined by a centromere) become visible and the nuclear membrane starts to disappear while centrioles move toward opposite poles of the cell
CENTRIOLES 2 tiny cylindrical bodies that spindle fibers
METAPHASE when the chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell
ANAPHASE when spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of chromosomes and start to pull them apart toward the poles
TELOPHASE when the chromosomes uncoil to become chromatin again, the nuclear membrane reappears, cytokinesis occurs, and a cell divides into 2 daughter cells
CLEAVAGE when the membrane pinches off to form two cells
CELL PLATE in plant cells this helps to divide the cell during telophase
CYCLIN the protein that regulates the timing of the cell cycle
BINARY FISSION the type of asexual reproduction where equal division of the nucleus and cytoplasm occurs in algae, bacteria, ameba and paramecium
BUDDING the type of asexual reproduction where the nucleus divides equally, but the cytoplasm does not creating bud
SPORULATION the types of asexual reproduction that occurs when spores are released for example in bread mold
REGENERATION the ability to regrow lost parts
VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION a type of asexual reproduction that occurs in plants either naturally or artificially

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
