LIVING ENVIRONMENT: asexual & sexual reproduction Flashcards
1 parent/1 set of DNA/identical offspring
asexual parents
mitosis
a type of cell division in whcih the nucleus divides and the genetic material is equally divided
chromosones
made of DNA humans have 46
the cell cycle
a series of evemts that cells go through as they grow and divide
interphase
grow and prepare for cell division living and growing
chromatin
threadlike substances that will become chromosomes
prophase
the chromatin condesnses into the chromosones
metaphase
meta (middle) chromosones line up in the center of the cell
anaphase
the sisters chromatin are pulled apart into individual chromosomes
telephase
the chromosones gather at opposite ends of the cell, new set of chromosones will form
cytopkinesis
when cytoplasm and cell membrane pinch in half to create two new cells
plant cells do not have _____
centrioles
cancer
uncontrolled celll division (mitosis)
______ will grow due to cells contiuing to divide even without space
tumors
2 parents/two sets of DNA/23 chromosomes from each parent
sexual reproduction
testes
male reproduction organ that produces the hormone testosterone and sperm
vas deference
tube that carries sperm will not be transported from your body
prostate
produce fluid from sperm
urethra
connected to vas deference and takes sperm through penis
