Asexual Reproduction

Question 1

define asexual reproduction

Answer 1

the means of reproduction with only one parent, usually in plants

Question 2

what are the five types of asexual reproduction?

Answer 2

binary fission
budding
spore formation
fragmentation
vegetative reproduction

Question 3

how are cells of these organisms reproduced?

Answer 3

by mitotic division- mitosis

Question 4

whats an example of binary fission?

Answer 4

bacteria forms two equal sized cells

Question 5

whats an example of budding?

Answer 5

yeast is called a bud or parent, unequal sized cell division

Question 6

whats an example of spore formation?

Answer 6

fungi, mold- are somewhat specialized for reproduction and have a protective covering

Question 7

whats an example of fragmentation?

Answer 7

flat worms, starfish- pieces of the parent form a new offspring

Question 8

whats an example of vegetative reproduction?

Answer 8

strawberries or spider plants- occurs only in plants, and special stems grow above/below the ground, growing a new offspring

Question 9

what do budding, binary fission and spore formation have in common?

Answer 9

they require only one parent cell

Question 10

what is a clone?

Answer 10

an identical copy of a cell

Question 11

what is cell cycle?

Answer 11

a series of events that make up the life cycle of a cell

Question 12

what method causes tooth decay in order to reproduce?

Answer 12

binary fission

Question 13

what are the end products of binary fission?

Answer 13

two independent daughter cells that are identical to each other

Question 14

yeast reproduces by

Answer 14

budding

Question 15

what best describes how spores grow and divide?

Answer 15

when they are encased in sporangium

Question 16

what technique takes a section of the root and joins it to another plant?

Answer 16

grafting

Question 17

define binary fission

Answer 17

a type of asexual reproduction in which the cell splits into two daughter cells that have identical genetic information

Question 18

what are eukaryotes?

Answer 18

any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus.

Question 19

examples of eukaryote cells

Answer 19

plants, animals, fungi, and protists. The only organisms that are not based on the eukaryotic cell are organisms based on a prokaryotic cell structure.

Question 20

what are karyotypes?

Answer 20

the number and visual appearance of the chromosomes in the cell nuclei of an organism or species.

Question 21

prokaryotes reproduce asexually via-

Answer 21

binary fission

Question 22

what is the purpose of mitosis?

Answer 22

to repair or create body cells

Question 23

how many chromosomes do humans have?

Answer 23

46

Question 24

if a fruit flies body cells have 8 chromosomes after mitosis it will have how many chromosomes?

Answer 24

8
