Unit 9 Flashcards
Cell Cycle
production of offspring from one parent
asexual reproduction
binary fission
spores
vegetative propagation
regeneration
cloning
5 types of asexual reproduction
formation of a new individual by fertilization, the combining of two haploid (N) sex cells (gametes-egg and sperm) made during meiosis
Sexual reproduction
what is meiosis the process of
to convert a diploid cell to a haploid gamete, thus causing a change in the genetic information to increase diversity in the offspring
meiosis
formation of reproductive cells (egg and sperm)
what does asexual reproduction use
mitosis
what does asexual reproduction produce
genetically identical cells
is there genetic diversity in asexual reproduction
no
what is the new individual cell made during sexual reproduction called
a zygote
what is meiosis not
asexual reproduction
what is meiosis the formation of
an egg or sperm that will be used during reproduction by forming a zygote
what happens during mitosis
a singular nucleus divides into 4 nuclei by going through mitosis twice
what does meiosis result in
4 haploid daughter cells
what is the cell cycle also known as
mitosis
what is mitosis
the division of a cell to form two genetically identical cells
what is the cell cycle not
it is not a series of individual steps, but a continuous process with no detonated divisions between phases
what are the 3 main divisions of the cell cycle
Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis
what is the longest division of the cell cycle
interphase
what is interphase divided into
G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase
what phase of the cell cycle does the cell never leave
G0 phase
what is mitosis divided into
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
what is cytokinesis
division of the cytoplasm and organelles
what happens during the G1 phase
the cell is obtaining nutrients, synthesizing RNA, producing proteins, and growing in size
what is the longest period of interphase
G1 phase
