| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the unicellular eukaryote divides once by mitosis to produce identical daughter cell (offspring) | single, equal cell division |
| mitosis in the parent produces a new cell that is genetically identical to parent but is smaller in size-> called the "bud". new bud separates from parent and grows into a new organism | budding |
| a piece of the organism breaks off. this fragment then regenerates or grows into a new organism by mitosis. genetic copy of parent organism | fragmentation and regeneration |
| an above ground horizontal stem that shoots off numerous plants by mitosis. these plants at first glance may look like separate individuals but they are all connected by same thing. they are clones | runners |
| same concept as a runner but underground horizontal stem | rhizomes |
| fleshy underground stem that can sprout many new individuals(clones) by mitosis | tubers |
| fleshy underground stem that can sprout many new individuals (clones) by mitosis (like a tuber) | bulbs |
| w.o.u. single equal cell division | unicellular organisms, amoeba and paramecium |
| w.o.u. budding | yeast (unicellular fungus) hydra(multicellular animal) |
| w.o.u. fragmentation and regeneration | animals (flatworms, starfish) plants (milfoil, houseplants) |
| w.o.u. runners | plants (strawberries, grasses) |
| w.o.u. rhizomes | plants (ferns, birches, cattails) |
| w.o.u. tubers | potato |
| w.o.u. bulbs | tulips, onions, daffodils. |
