What is a mutation?
A mistake in DNA which can lead to cancer
A complete copy of DNA

Bacteria reproduce asexually by a process called
replication
meiosis
mitosis
binary fission
When a starfish grows a new body off a broken arm what type of reproduction is happening?
sexual reproduction
asexual reproduction
What process occurs in order for body cells to reproduce?
mitosis
meiosis
binary fission
budding

A cell that has a full set of chromosomes is called a______ cell.
haploid
diploid
triploid
hetrolpoid
Fishermen work hard to catch and remove all the starfish that get into their favorite shell fishing beds and the “underwater farms” where they raise clams and oysters. In the past, they put the starfish into their boats, cut them up with knives, and then throw the pieces of starfish overboard. They thought this would kill the starfish. What they did not know was that each piece of starfish will grow into a whole new animal.
