Meiosis & Genetic Recombination Flashcards
Reproduction producing genetically identical whole populations…
Mitosis
A stable & resourceful method of populating…
Asexual Reproduction
Pros of asexual reproduction?
Fast!
Energy Savings
Cons of asexual reproduction?
No genetic diversity! (Antibiotic Resistance)
Passes on 100% of genes to offspring
This leads to greater diversity in a population..
Sexual recombination!
This diversity comes from =
Genetic Recombination
Greater variation in the population leads to:
Stability & Longevity
Individually variation comes from 1 or 2 sources:
Meiosis
Recombination
Animals have a ___________ life cycle.
Diplontic
Only single celled diploid state for humans?
Zygote
Funi have a ________ life cycle.
Haplontic
Multicellular fungi are all ________.
Haploid
In haplontic, gametes are produced by ______ and are ________.
Mitosis
Haploid
Plants have a ___________ life cycle.
Haplodiplontic
In plants, gametes are produced by _______
Mitosis & Meiosis
