Cellular Reproduction
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION | 1 Parent, produces clone offspring |
| MITOSIS ( CELL DIVISION) | Process that makes two identical copies of body cells. |
| CLONE | Exact/ Genetically Identical copy |
| BINARY FISSION | 1 cell divides into 2 copies |
| BUDDING | Offspring grows and then detaches from parent |
| VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION | Offspring made from shoots, stems, and spuds |
| FRAGMENTATION | Offspring made from pieces of parent |
| REGENERATION | Replacing injured or lost parts by mitosis |
| CHROMOSOME | Threadlike structure that contains DNA |
| GENE | Section of DNA that carries an organisms traits |
| HAPLOID | 1n having single set of chromosomes ex. sex cells. |
| DIPLOID | 2n having both sets of chromosomes ( two) ex. Body cells. |
| SEXUAL REPRODUCTION | 2 parents produce diverse offspring |
| DIVERSITY | Different versions or variations |
| MEIOSIS | Process that makes 4 unique sex cells ( gametes) |
| GAMETE | Sex cells ( Sperm and Egg) |
| FERTILIZATION | Union of sperm and egg |
| ZYGOTE | First cell made from fertilization |
| INTERPHASE | Inter=" between" divisions (longest phase of cell cycle ) |
| PROPHASE | First ( nucleus disappears/ chromosomes thicken) |
| METAPHASE | Chromosomes in middle |
| ANAPHASE | Chromosomes apart |
| TELOPHASE | Chromosomes at end ( nucleus reforms) |
| CYTOKINESIS | Cells split / divide into two copis |
