Q

Name 5 ways of Asexual Reproduction

A 
Binary Fission (splits into 2 equal parts, then grows)
Splitting (splits into many parts, organisms grow from part)
Spore Formation (organism breaks into multiple pieces to be carried away and grow)
Budding (new organisms form off of parent)
Vegetative Propagation (creating new plants from stems/leaves/roots of parent organism)

What is a blastocyst?

A

A fluid filled structure with an inner cell mass surrounded by an outer layer of cells

39
Q

How long is the embryonic period?

A

Approx 9 weeks following fertilisation

40
Q

A

From 9 weeks until birth

41
Q

How do Stem Cells divide?

A

Mitosis

42
Q

What is a difference between a cancerous cell and a normal cell?

A

Cancerous cells do not respond to signals telling them to stop dividing

43
Q

What is a source of Embryonic Stem Cells?

A

From inner cell mass in blastocyst

44
Q

What is a mutagen?

A

An environmental factor that causes genetic mutations

45

What is recombination (crossing over)

A

Process of generating new combinations of alleles (genetic variation)

46
Q

Where does recombination occur in Meiosis?

A

Prophase I

47
Q

What occurs in Cytokinesis?

A

Cytoplasm is equally divided between daughter cells
