DNA and Reproduction (Meiosis and Mitosis included)

A type of reproduction in which on parent organism produces offspring without meiosis and fertilization; offspring is an identical copy of the parent.

• Meiosis reproduction

• Sexual reproduction

• Asexual reproduction

• Abiotic reproduction

A cell (like a gamete) that only has half the amount of chromosomes as the organism.

• haploid

• diploid

• triploid

• biploid

The exchange of sections between chromosomes during meiosis. This helps create genetic variations.

• Meiosis

• Mitosis

• Crossing over

• Base pairs

Material that carries ALL the information about how a living thing will look and function.

• Chromosome

• Trait

• Gene

• DNA

• RNA

Made up of DNA. In the nucleus of each cell and carries ALL genetic information.

• Chromosome

• Trait

• Gene

• DNA

• RNA

A basic unit of DNA located on a chromosome and controls the development of traits.

• Chromosome

• Trait

• Gene

• DNA

• Base Pairs

A process in which one diploid cell divides to make four haploid cells. This helps create genetic diversity

• Asexual reproduction

• Mitosis

• Heredity

• Meiosis

A cell ( like a body cell ) that has pairs or full set of chromosome.

• haploid

• diploid

• triploid

• biploid

A reproductive cell or sex cell.

• diploid

• gene

• gamete

• organelle

• Nucleus

Structure or part that is inside a cell and has a particular function.

• diploid

• gene

• gamete

• organelle
