Compare/Contrast Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes
cell division
- The usual method of prokaryote cell division is termed binary fission. The prokaryotic chromosome is a single DNA molecule that first replicates, then attaches each copy to a different part of the cell membrane. When the cell begins to pull apart, the replicate and original chromosomes are separated. Following cell splitting (cytokinesis), there are then two cells of identical genetic composition
- Eukaryote cell division is known as Mitosis (Meiosis for reproductive cells). Mitosis phases consist of Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase and Cytokenesis. During these phases the chromosomes are copied and divided up into identical daughter cells.

Explain the reproductive cycle of a sponge
Reproduction by sponges is by both sexual and asexual means. Asexual reproduction is by means of external buds. Some species also form internal buds, called gemmules, which can survive extremely unfavorable conditions that cause the rest of the sponge to die. Sexual reproduction takes place in the mesohyl. Male gametes are released into the water by a sponge and taken into the pore systems of its neighbors in the same way as food items. Spermatozoa are “captured” by collar cells, which then lose their collars and transform into specialized, amoeba-like cells that carry the spermatozoa to the eggs. Some sponges are monoecious; others are dioecious.
