Reproduction
Chapter 9: Reproduction + Cloning
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a clone? | An organism or cell produced from one ancestor to which they are genetically identical |
| What is cloning? | Techniques used to create genetic copies of an organism |
| What is Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer? | A process of cloning. What was used for Dolly the sheep. |
| Steps to Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer? | 1. Enucleation (out of egg cell donor). 2. Extraction (Out of Somatic Cell Donor). 3. Insertion (Egg Cell Donor + Nuclei combine). 4. Development (Within Surrogate mother). Then Clone of Somatic Cell Donor is born. |
| Issues within Cloning (4) | Low efficiency, Health and Longevity, Effectiveness, Ethics. |
| Sexual Reproduction | Requires two mates. Produces offspring genetically different from parents. Takes longer. (Mitosis + Meiosis) |
| Asexual Reproduction | Requires only one parent. Produces offspring genetically identical to parents. Quicker. (Mitosis) |
| Advantages of Sexual Reproduction | Creates genetic diversity. |
| Disadvantages of Sexual Reproduction | - Time and Energy - Efficiency (Only females can reproduce) - Dependence on vectors - Risk to Life |
| Advantages of Asexual Reproduction | - Efficient - Rapid Population Growth - Every member can reproduce - Doesn't rely on a vector |
| Disadvantages of Asexual Reproduction | Doesn't increase genetic variation. |
| Ways that Sexual Reproduction creates genetic diversity | - Mixing of genetic information through two parents - Random Mating - Crossing Over (Prophase 1) - Independent assortment of non-homologous chromosomes (Metaphase 1) |
| Why is Genetic Diversity important? | "Raw material for natural selection". Individuals whose traits give them more chance to survive leave more offspring Unequal chance of reproduction -----> Accumulation of favorable traits. |
| Examples of Asexual Reproduction | Budding, Fragmentation, Binary Fission, Vegetative Reproduction, Cutting, Grafting |
| Binary Fission + Steps | Separation of the body into two identical daughter cells. DNA Replication, Elongation + Segregation of DNA, Cross Wall Forms (Cytokinesis), Two Daughter Cells. |
| Mitosis Steps (in order) | Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis |
| Meiosis Steps (in order) | PMATC 1 (two daughter cells - haploid), PMATC 2 (four granddaughter cells - haploid) 1 is Meiosis 1, 2 is Meiosis 2 |
