What is not required to fond a mate? Answer with a single words or term.
Fragmentation
- from of asexual reproduction in which each fragment of an organism develops in clone of its parent.
negative mutation
A(n) can make asexually produced organisms susceptible to disease and can destroy large numbers of offspring.
methods of asexual reproduction
Some produce offspring that are close together and compete for food and space.
Binary fission
- form of asexual reproduction in which a single parent cell replicates its genetic material and divides into two equal parts.
Clone
- identical genetic copy of its parent.
Mutation
may happen when errors occur during DNA replication or when chromosomes fail to move into new cell.
Large colonies
can form that can out- compete other organisms for nutrients and water.
Asexual reproduction of plants
has benefitted humans for centuries.
Plants
can also reproduce by fragmentation provided that their environment stays static and have enough nutrients.
Spores
- reproductive cells that grow into new individuals by mitosis.
Embryonic cells
What are used in therapeutic cloning? Answer with a single words or term.
Large numbers of organisms mean species
may survive when conditions or the numbers of predators change.
Vegetative reproduction
- reproduction in which special cell divide repeatedly to form structures that will eventually develop into a plant identical to the parent.
Spore formation spore producers
rely on water or wind to carry the spores away from the parent.
Embryonic stem cells
- cells that can become any one of a sexually reproducing organisms body cells.
Asexual reproduction
- reproduction that requires only one parent and produces offspring that are genetic copies of the parent.
Adult stem cells
What are not as adaptable? Answer with a single words or term.
Stem cells
- cells that have the potential to become many different types of cells.
