Mitosis And Meiosis-Test On May 7 Flashcards
What is the advantage of sexual reproduction?
Combining gametes creates genetically unique offspring that allow the species to adapt and survive.
What are the five methods of asexual reproduction?
Binary fission
Budding
Vegatative propagation
Sporulation
Regeneration
How many sets of DNA does a zygote have?
It has a full set of DNA.
What are gametes?
Are specialized sex cells (male and female.)
It is the sperm and eggs in humans.
How many pairs is a set of a diploid?
23(46 chromosomes)
What is sexual reproduction?
Is the production of offspring from the joining of male and female sex cells.
Male and female sex cells each contribute to the chromosomes of the offspring.
How many chromosomes are in a haploid?
23
What is meiosis?
Is the type of cell division that HALVES the number of chromosomes during the production of gametes.
Where does meiosis occur?
In our reproductive organs.
How many cell division does a meiosis go through?
2
How many sets of DNA does a gamete contain?
One half (a haploid)
What is asexual reproduction?
Is the formation of new offspring from only one parent.
How is a gamete produced?
By meiosis
What is fertilization?
Is when gametes combine (sperm and eggs) to form a zygote(fertilized egg) with a full set of DNA.
