Pairs of threadlike molecules than contain hereditary information, found in the nucleus.

Made of DNA, the most basic unit of heredity.

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

Parent cell breaks into pieces, creating a new offspring.

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

Which is not an advantage of asexual reproduction?

A change in an organism that may change its appearance, how it behaves, and its functions.

Organisms not having to look for a mate would be an advantage of...

A quick type of reproduction would be...

Due to these organisms sharing 100% of their parent's DNA, they share weaknesses and may not be able to adapt.

An advantage of this type of reproduction can lead to genetic variation.

This type of reproduction may remove bad genes/weaknesses from a population.

A disadvantage of this type of reproduction would be fewer offspring and a longer time to reproduce.
