A
- growth
- repair
- cloning
- asexual reproduction
2
Q
GROWTH
A
mitosis will occur to produce new cells
3
Q
REPAIR
A
mitosis will occur to replace damaged or dead cells
4
Q
CLONING
A
mitosis will occur to make identical copies
5
Q
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
A
mitosis will occur to produce offspring that is genetically identical to the parent
6
Q
DIPLOID
A
normal human body cell as a result of mitosis that has two of each chromosome, resulting in 46 chromosomes
7
Q
HAPLOID
A
produced by meiosis and has half the number of chromosomes in a normal body cell, containing 23 chromosomes
8
Q

A
- eye colour
- hair colour
- blood type
- inherited disorders
11
Q
EXAMPLES OF ENVIRONMENT VARIATION
A
- lifestyle
- climate

12
Q
DARWIN’S THEORY
A
- individuals in a species show a range of variation caused by differences in genes
- individuals with characteristics most suited to te environment has a higher chance of survival and to reproduce
- these genes that allow organisms to survive are passed to their offsprings
