|
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| sexual reproduction | Two parents sharing genetic information so the offspring has a combination of traits from each parent
🗑
|
||||
| asexual reproduction | One parent producing offspring with the same DNA
🗑
|
||||
| uniform | having the same exact traits
🗑
|
||||
| diverse | having different traits
🗑
|
||||
| Fission (Binary) | Type of asexual reproduction where a single celled organism divides and splits into 2 separate organisms. You can not differentiate the original parent from the offspring
🗑
|
||||
| Budding | Type of asexual reproduction where the parent produces a smaller clone of itself (mini me) and then pops it off. The original parent cell still remains.
🗑
|
||||
| Fragmentation | An organism will break off a piece of itself and both parts regrow to become fully functioning organisms
🗑
|
||||
| Regeneration | When a lost part of an organism can regrow. Not truly asexual reproduction because a new organism is not formed.
🗑
|
||||
| Give an example of an organism undergoing fission. | Ameoba
🗑
|
||||
| Give an example of an organism undergoing budding. | Hydra
🗑
|
||||
| Give an example of an organism undergoing fragmentation. | Planarian
🗑
|
||||
| 3 types of asexual reproduction | fission, budding, fragmentation
🗑
|
||||
| Advantages of asexual reproduction | Fast, many offspring in a short amount of time
🗑
|
||||
| Disadvantages of asexual reproduction | all organisms have the same DNA and traits, so the species does not tolerate changes in the environment well
🗑
|
||||
| Sperm | male sex cell in mammals- only has 1/2 the chromosomes
🗑
|
||||
| Egg | female sex cell in mammals- only has 1/2 the chromosomes
🗑
|
||||
| Zygote | cell formed when the male and female sex cell combine. Has the full number of chromosomes
🗑
|
||||
| Advantages of sexual reproduction | The organisms of the population have different traits. This gives the population as a whole a better chance to tolerate changes in the environment
🗑
|
||||
| Disadvantages of sexual reproduction | Slow. Not very many new offspring over a period of time
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
