Asexual And Sexual Reproduction And Meiosis

Question 1

Which form of division increases chance of survival?

Answer 1

Meiosis, allows nature to select advantagous characteristics - evolution

Question 2

Which form of division is faster!

Answer 2

Mitosis, takes 20min

Question 3

What is the use of each form of reproduction?

Answer 3

Mitosis=gwoth and repair
Meiosis=producing gamers (egg + pollen in case of plants)

Question 4

Where does each form of reproduction occur?

Answer 4

Mitosis=bacteria, binary fission
Humans, everywhere except
sex organs

Meiosis=sex organs

Question 5

First step of meiosis?

Answer 5

Starts off with Diploid cell, waxh chromosomes duplicate the genetic material

Question 6

Second step of meiosis?

Answer 6

Each duplicated chromosome inherited from the mother pairs up with the same duplicated chromosome inherited from the father

Question 7

Meiosis third step?

Answer 7

Each chromosome pairs is separated and the cell divides

Question 8

Meiosis fourth step?

Answer 8

All chromosomes, either maternally or maternally inherited, line up centrally

Question 9

Meiosis fifth step?

Answer 9

Each duplicated copy is replicated as these cells complete the second meiosis division

Question 10

What is genetically special about meiosis?

Answer 10

All 4 cells created are genetically different

Question 11

What is an example of a plant that can undergo both sexual and asexual reproduction?

Answer 11

Strawberry + fungi, to maximise advantages

Question 12

Which form of reproduction is sexual and which one is asexual?

Answer 12

Asexual=mitosis
