Term
two types of reproduction
Definition
asexual and sexual
Term
4 types of asexual reproduction
Definition
binary fission, budding, gemmulation, fragmentation
Term
the body of the parent divides by mitosis into two completely different but equal parts
Definition
binary fission, common in bacteria and protozoa
Term
the nucleus divides multiple times before cytoplasm is divided, example?
Definition
multiple fission, malaria
Term
an unequal division of the organism, example?
Definition
budding, hydra and anemones
Term
the formation of a new individual from a clump of cells surrounded by a resistant capsule aka a gemmule....example?
Definition
gemmulation, freshwater sponges
Term
a multicellular animal breaks into two or more parts with each fragment capable of becoming a new complete individual, example?
Definition
fragmentation, seastar-sponges-anemones
Term
the production of offspring by the union of gametes form two genetically different parents
Definition
sexual reproduction
Term
offspring in sexual reproduction is a complete new _________.
Definition
genotype
Term
why is the ovum large?
Definition
stored yolk to sustain early development
Term
combines two ________ gametes to restore the normal(________) chromosomal number of the species
Definition
fertilization; haploid, diploid
Term
organs that produce germ cells
Definition
gonads
Term
3 ways of sexual reproduction
Definition
bisexual, parthenogenesis, hermaphroditism
Term
the common method of sexual reproduction involving separate male and female individuals.....examples?
Definition
bisexual reproduction; nearly all vertebrates
Term
the development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg, lacks genetic variability....examples?
Definition
parthenogenesis; flatworms, lizards, fish, insects
Term
animals with both male and female organs...examples?
Definition
hermaphroditism; earthworms, flatworms
Term
regions of DNA that code for our hereditary characteristics; codes for proteins or polypeptides
Definition
genes
Term
different versions of a gene
Definition
alleles
Term
when does crossing over occur?
Definition
prophase 1
Term
when does independent assortment occur and what leads up to this being able to take place?
Definition
metaphase 1
Term
spermatogenesis=
Definition
sperm production
Term
one germ cell=
Definition
4 new cells ????
Term
these cells:
replace old dead skin cells
Definition
mitosis
Term
produce spores
Definition
meiosis
Term
make gametes
Definition
meiosis
Term
make somatic cells
Definition
mitosis
Term
produce buds
Definition
mitosis
Term
add roots and shoots from plant cuttings
Definition
mitosis
Term
when a piece of a chromosome breaks off causing info to be lost
Definition
deletion
Term
when a piece of a chromosome breaks from a chromosome and reattaches itself to a nonhomlogous (different) chromosome
Definition
inversion
Term
when a piece of a chromosome pair fails to separate during cell division and causes one daughter cell to have an extra chromosome or one ot be short one or two
Definition
nondisjunction
Term
3 extra 21 chromosomes
Definition
trisomy 21
Term
missing one x or y chromosome
Definition
monosomy
Term
nondisjunction leads to __________
Definition
aneuploidy
Term
what is more important: sperm count or sperm age? why?
Definition
sperm count: although there are millions of sperm, most die on the way to the ovum and over 40% are usually deformed
Term
How does the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells compare to those of the parent in meiosis? mitosis?
Definition
meiosis- it has half the number....mitosis- it has the same
Term
Are the daughter cells genetically identical to each other and the parents cells in meiosis? mitosis?
Definition
meiosis-they have variations....mitosis, they are the same
Term
how many daughter cells are are produced in mitosis and meiosis?
Definition
meiosis-4.....mitosis-2
Term
what is a zygote?
Definition
a fertilized egg
Term
what are the matching pairs of chromosomes in a diploid cell called?
Definition
homologous pairs
Term
cells that are involved in fertilization are....
Definition
haploid
Term
at the end of telophase 1 are the cells diploid or haploid?
Definition
haploid
Term
where are the sister chromatids at the start of meiosis?
Definition
attached to the chromosome pairs
Term
in meiosis, homologous pairs separate when?
Definition
anaphase 1
