Offspring are made using two parents and sex cells, so they have mixed traits.

Offspring are made from one parent and are genetically identical.

One single-celled organism splits into two identical cells.

A parent organism splits into parts, and each part grows into a new organism.

A new organism grows off the parent, then breaks away.

An organism can regrow lost parts or form a whole new organism.

Vegetative propagation

New plants grow from stems, roots, or leaves instead of seeds.

New plants grow from bulbs that store food (like onions).

An organism produces spores that can grow into new organisms.

A piece of a plant is cut off and grown into a new plant.

Parts of two plants are joined together so they grow as one.

Pollen moves from one plant to another plant, increasing variation.

Humans choose organisms with desired traits to reproduce.

Chromosomes do not separate correctly during meiosis, causing errors.

Division of body cells to make identical cells for growth and repair.

Division that makes sex cells with half the normal chromosomes.

Cell grows, copies DNA, and prepares to divide.

Chromosomes condense and spindle fibers form.

Chromosomes line up in the center of the cell.

Chromatids separate and move apart.

The cell splits into two cells.

Structure made of DNA that carries genetic information.

Uncoiled DNA found in the nucleus.

One of two identical halves of a chromosome.

Region that holds sister chromatids together.

Fibers that pull chromosomes apart.

Structure that helps organize spindle fibers in animal cells.

Cell with two sets of chromosomes (most body cells).

haploid and monoploid

Cell with one set of chromosomes (sex cells).

Cell formed after cell division.

Movement of cytoplasm to move materials inside the cell.

Cell takes in liquids through its membrane.

Process where cells make proteins using DNA instructions.
