Q

chromosones

A

made up of 23 pairs of chromosones- contain DNA

17
Q

nucleus

A

controls functions of the cell and reproduction- inside there is chromosomes which hold DNA

18
Q

Binary fission

A

fully grown parent cell splits into 2 halves

19
Q

fragmentation

A

body of parent breaks into a peice and creates a new organism

20
Q

budding

A

offspring grows out of body of an organism

21
Q

vegitative reproduction

A

new organisms arise with spore of seed

22
Q

gamete

A

sex cells formed by meiosis

23
Q

zygote

A

as a sperm enters during fertilazation, the two fuse to for zygote. with 23 chromosomes and 46 total

24
Q

mutation

A

change in the DNA system and causes changes in an organism - appearance how its grows etc

25
Q

sickle cell anemia

A

disorder that breaks down red blood cells

26
Q

wingless fruit fly

A

genes responsible for wing formation to be mutated.
