Question or Hint Answer or Word

One parent -Genetically identical offspring -Disadvantage is no genetic variation (offspring always inherit parents weakness) -Quicker and doesn’t require finding a mate -Mitosis: makes body cells asexual reproduction
1 cell divides twice into four unique daughter cells. The four daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Haploid - half the number of chromosomes Sexual reproduction Occurs in sex cells: sperm & egg cells. Meiosis
-Two parents -Genetically unique offspring -Improves genetic variation (for example not all offspring inherit a parents “bad” genes) -Requires finding a mate and takes a longer time -Meiosis: makes sperm and egg cells. sexual reproduction
1 cell divides into two identical daughter cells. The starting cell and two daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes Diploid - full number of chromosomes Asexual Reproduction Occurs in body cells. Mitosis
