Biology

Question 1

define asexual reproduction

Answer 1

the production of offspring
from one single parent
without fusion of gametes —> no fertilisation

Question 2

what type of division are the offspring in asexual division produced by?

Answer 2

mitotic cell division,

Question 3

Compare the offsprings in asexual reproduction to their parents

Answer 3

the offsprings are genetically identical to their parents

Question 3

the two types of asexual reproduction in dse biology

Answer 3

1. binary fission
2. vegetative propagation

Question 3

what is the process of binary fission

Answer 3

dividing a parent cell into two daughter cells by mitotic cell division.

Question 4

what is the most common type or organisms that use binary fission to reproduce?

Answer 4

unicellular organisms

Question 4

give one example of unicellular organisms that use binary fission

Answer 4

protozoa

Question 5

process of binary fission ( 3 steps)

Answer 5

1. the genetic materials of parent cells first replicate
2. the genetic materials together with cytoplasm of the parent cell DIVIDE INTO 2 DAUGHTER CELLS!!
3. two daughter cells –> formed
   —-> they are genetically identical to each other and to parent cell
