Energy

What is not required to fond a mate? Answer with a single words or term.

2
New cards

Fragmentation

- from of asexual reproduction in which each fragment of an organism develops in clone of its parent.

3
New cards

negative mutation

A(n) can make asexually produced organisms susceptible to disease and can destroy large numbers of offspring.

4
New cards

methods of asexual reproduction

Some produce offspring that are close together and compete for food and space.

5
New cards

Binary fission

- form of asexual reproduction in which a single parent cell replicates its genetic material and divides into two equal parts.

6
New cards

Clone

- identical genetic copy of its parent.

7
New cards

Mutation

may happen when errors occur during DNA replication or when chromosomes fail to move into new cell.

8
New cards

Large colonies

can form that can out- compete other organisms for nutrients and water.

9
New cards

Asexual reproduction of plants

has benefitted humans for centuries.

10
New cards

Plants

can also reproduce by fragmentation provided that their environment stays static and have enough nutrients.

11
New cards

Spores

- reproductive cells that grow into new individuals by mitosis.

12
New cards

Embryonic cells

What are used in therapeutic cloning? Answer with a single words or term.

13
New cards

Large numbers of organisms mean species

may survive when conditions or the numbers of predators change.

14
New cards

Vegetative reproduction

- reproduction in which special cell divide repeatedly to form structures that will eventually develop into a plant identical to the parent.

15
New cards

Spore formation spore producers

rely on water or wind to carry the spores away from the parent.

16
New cards

Embryonic stem cells

- cells that can become any one of a sexually reproducing organisms body cells.

17
New cards

Asexual reproduction

- reproduction that requires only one parent and produces offspring that are genetic copies of the parent.

18
New cards

Adult stem cells

What are not as adaptable? Answer with a single words or term.

19
New cards

Stem cells

- cells that have the potential to become many different types of cells.
