Asexual Reproduction Flashcards
Asexual Reproduction
- form of division where where a single offsrping is produced from single parent
- occurs via cell division or mitosis
- both genetically idnetical
budding
- outgrowth of organism
- hydra
- when conditions are favourable, extention of organism growa
- when large enough the outgrowths will fall and become idneitcall
fragmentation
- peice or body fragment of organism that dveolps into mature orgaism
- fungi
- produce spores which break off and devolp into new mushroom
Mitosis
PMAT
cytokinesis is not apart of it
to divide genetic material
Interphase
- growth phase
- 90% of cell life is spent here
- G1, systheis, G2
G1 phase
- Cell grows to nearly twice in size
- preparres for division
- does regular cell activty
- has a checkpoint right after mitosis
Systheis
- Nucleus makes a copy of its DNA
- single-stranded to double stranded
G2 phase
- happens near mitosis
- anothe rgrowth phase
- Organelles are also replicated
- has a checkpint right after S (DNA replication)
Division stages/ mitosis
- mitsosi and cytokinsis make up 10% of cell stage
1. Mitosis: Division of the Nucleus
2. Cytokinesis: Division of the Cytoplasm
prophase
- Chromatin (DNA) condenses into chromosomes
- Centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell
- Nuclear membrane dissolves
- Spindle fibers form from the centrioles
Vocab
Chromtin: messy DNA
centrioles: keeps cell organized (make sure stuff is not in teh way) facilliated by spindle fibers
centrometere: middle of the chromosome
chromsome- made up of 2 chromaoids
chromoaid- strands of chromosome
metapahse
- Spindle fibers attach to centromeres
- Chromosomes align along the equatorial plate (middle of cell)
- has a checkpoint (cell checks chromosome and makes sure cell is ready to divide)
aptosis
when celld ies due to cell not having or damages chromosomes
anaphase
- Spindle fibers shorten
- Centromere splits and pulls chromatids to opolesthe cell
telophase
- Chromosomes relax into chromatin
- Nuclear membrane reappears
- Two new nuclei are formed
- Spindle fibers disappear
Cytokinesis
- cytoplams divides
- anaimsl cells: prinching of the cell= cleavage furrow forms
- plant cell: cell wall= cell plates are formed
cloning
- a sheep was the firts mammal cloned
1. donor cell was taken form sheeps uter
2. an egg was taken form female sheep
3. they rmeoved egg nuclues are fused the 2 using electric shock
4. the fused cell began dividing to create mebryo
5. the embryo was placed in another female sheep
6. the embryo forms a baby identically simular to first
cloning cons
cons:
- takes lots of trys
- clones do not live a long life and suffer form health complications
- premature aging
- result in genetically vunerable species
Many people feel it is unnatural or unethical
cloning pros
- mass prodcution of high quality crops (Selective cloning)
- used to repdouce engargered species (without captive breeding)
