| diploid | cells that have pairs of chromosomes |
| homologous chromosomes | pairs of chromosomes that have genes for the same traits |
| haploid | cells that only have one chromosome in each pair |
| DNA | the genetic information in cell |
| asexual reproduction | one parent organism produces offspring without meiosis and fertilization |
| fission | cell division in prokaryotes that forms two genetically identical calls |
| budding | a new organism grows by mitosis and cell division on the body of its parent |
| regeneration | when an offspring grows from a piece of its parent |
| vegetative reproduction | a form of asexual reproduction in which offspring grow from a part of the parent plant. |
| cloning | a type of asexual reproduction performed in a laboratory that produces identical individuals from a cell or cluster of cells taken from a multicellular organism |
