| A | B |
|---|
| asexual reproduction | one parent produces identical offspring |
| binary fission | unicellular parent divides into two equal parts |
| mitotic cell division | to insure that each new daughter cell has genes identical to the parent cell |
| regeneration in planarians | divided in half and generate missing part |
| budding | parent divides into two unequal parts |
| DNA | deoxyriboneucleic acid |
| asexual reporduction | reproduce by mitotic cell division |
| spore | a cell surrounded by a protective covering |
| organism that produces spores | bread mold |
| gene | the cell's blueprint stored in the chromosomes |
| phases of mitosis | prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase |
| cytokinesis | final stage of cell division, cytoplasm divides |
| telophase | new nuclear membrane forms |
| regeneration | ability to regrow lost body parts |
| anaphase | eah pair of sister chromatids separate to spindle |
| sexual reporduction | two organiisms give copy of genes to form a new oraganism |
| meiosis | sexual reproduction |
| interphase | the genes are copied |
| prophase | chromosomes pair up form sister chromatids |
| metaphase | chromosomes line up in center of spindle |
| Uracil | protein that replaces thymine in RNA |
| Thymine | found only in DNA |
| Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine | found in both DNA and RNA |
| parts a nucleotide | base, sugar, and phosphate |
