What is mitosis?
The process in which a cell copies itself

What is meiosis?
The process in which a cell copies itself
The process in which reproductive cells are made
The time when a cell grows and does its job

What happens during crossing over?
DNA clumps together to form chromosomes.
The membrane pinches inward to form 2 cells.
Parts of chromosomes switch, ensuring genetic diversity.
The chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.

Which of the following is an advantage of asexual reproduction?
All offspring (not just females) are able to reproduce
Organisms can reproduce quickly

All offspring have variations and are different from one another
A parent organism doesn't need to find a partner to reproduce
Organisms can reproduce quickly
