Study Guide Graded A+
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).
