#1
Front (Question)

Asexual Reproduction; HOW MANY PARENTS? OFFSPRING ARE … 1: Mitosis & Asexual Reproduction

Back (Answer)

Requires one parent; offspring are genetically identical.

#2
Front (Question)

DEFINE: Mitosis 1: Mitosis & Asexual Reproduction

Back (Answer)

The cell division process used for asexual reproduction.

#3
Front (Question)

MITOSIS/MEIOSIS + USE: Single-Celled Organisms 1: Mitosis & Asexual Reproduction

Back (Answer)

Use mitosis to reproduce entire organisms.

#4
Front (Question)

MEIOSIS/MITOSIS + USE: Multicellular Organisms 1: Mitosis & Asexual Reproduction

Back (Answer)

Use mitosis for growth and tissue repair.

#5
Front (Question)

MITOSIS: Outcome 1: Mitosis & Asexual Reproduction

Back (Answer)

Produces two identical diploid daughter cells (full set of chromosomes).

#6
Front (Question)

FUNCTION: Cell Health 1: Mitosis & Asexual Reproduction

Back (Answer)

Mitosis maintains health by replacing dead or damaged cells.

#7
Front (Question)

Sexual Reproduction HOW MANY PARENTS? WHAT DOES IT DO? 2: Meiosis & Sexual Reproduction

Back (Answer)

Requires two parents; increases genetic variation for better species survival.

#8
Front (Question)

DIFFERENCES: Sex Cells (Gametes) 2: Meiosis & Sexual Reproduction

Back (Answer)

Contain half the genetic material of a body cell.

#9
Front (Question)

DIFFERENCES: Haploid vs. Diploid 2: Meiosis & Sexual Reproduction

Back (Answer)

Body cells are diploid (full set); sex cells are haploid (half set).

#10
Front (Question)

DEFINE: Meiosis 2: Meiosis & Sexual Reproduction

Back (Answer)

The specialized division that produces haploid sex cells

#11
Front (Question)

MEIOSIS: Outcome 2: Meiosis & Sexual Reproduction

Back (Answer)

Produces four unique haploid daughter cells.

#12
Front (Question)

MEIOSIS: Chromosome Stability 2: Meiosis & Sexual Reproduction

Back (Answer)

Meiosis prevents the chromosome count from doubling every generation.

#13
Front (Question)

DEFINE: Fertilization 3: Fertilization & Growth

Back (Answer)

The union of a sperm cell and an egg cell.

#14
Front (Question)

DEFINE: Zygote 3: Fertilization & Growth

Back (Answer)

The first cell of a new organism; contains a full set of chromosomes (half from each parent).

#15
Front (Question)

CONTINUATION: Development. WHAT OCCURS AFTER? 3: Fertilization & Growth

Back (Answer)

After fertilization, the zygote uses mitosis to grow into a multicellular organism.

#16
Front (Question)

UNDERSTAND: Variation 3: Fertilization & Growth

Back (Answer)

Because the zygote has mixed DNA, the offspring is genetically different from both parents.
