1.
Asexual
Reproduction:
A type of reproduction where a single organism creates offspring that
are genet-
ically identical to itself. Ex. Bacteria
2.
Sexual
Reproduction:
A reproduction process that involves two parents combining their
genetic material
to produce offspring that have a mix of traits from both parents.
3.
Offspring:
The young produced by parents; the next generation of organisms.
4.
Meiosis:
A series of stages in the cell cycle of a germ (sex) cell in which the parent cell divides into
4 new daughter cells that are NOT identical to the parent cell.
5.
Genetic
Variation:
Differences in traits among individuals in a population, often resulting
from sexual
reproduction.
6.
Karyotype:
A picture of all the chromosomes in a cell arranged in pairs
7.
Parent
Cell:
A
cell
that
is
the
source
of
other
cells,
as
a
cell
that
divides
to
produce
two
or
more
daughter
cells.
8.
Daughter Cell:
Either of the two (or 4) cells formed when a cell undergoes cell division by
mitosis (or meiosis).
