NGSS.HS-LS3-1

Made of DNA, the most basic unit of heredity.

• Cell

• Nucleus

• Gene

• Chromosome

Fully grown parent cells make a copy and split into 2 halves. Daughter cells look exactly like the parent.

• Fragmentation

• Binary Fission

• Budding

• Vegetative Reproduction

NGSS.MS-LS3-2

Parent cell breaks into pieces, creating a new offspring.

• Binary Fission

• Budding

• Regeneration

• Fragmentation

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS3-2

The offspring grows off of the parent, and will break off once it is able to survive on its own.

• Budding

• Binary Fission
