Asexual Reproduction

1. Asexual Reproduction Mitosis Mitosis is the process in which the nucleus divides to form two new nuclei. After cytokinesis, 2 cells are formed that are identical to each other genetically, but 1/2 the size of the parent cell. How does mitosis differ in plants and animals? 1

3. Why do animals shed their skin?

4. . Types of ReproductionAsexual 1. one parent • 2. offspring identical to parent • 3. occurs in unicellular organisms and body cells as a part of growth.

5. Cloning • A technique that accomplishes the same result as asexual reproduction. All offspring are identical to the parent because they carry the same genetic code as the parent. • plants - babies from spider plants are clones. • - stem rooted in water that becomes a plant is a clone.

6. Animal Cloning • Done by removing a nucleus (with the genetic information) from a “parent” organism’s cell and inserting the nucleus into an egg cell from which the nucleus has been removed. The result is an egg that has 100% of the genetic information from a single parent. The egg cell is then implanted and develops inside of a female. • Cloning has been • accomplished in • sheep and pigs.

7. The process of asexual reproduction in us begins after a sperm fertilizes an egg.

8. Three reasons why cells reproduce by asexual reproduction: 1. Growth 2. Repair 3. Replacement Skin cancer - the abnormal growth of skin cells - most often develops on skin exposed to the sun. Cell that reproduce by asexual reproduction reproduce constantly.

9. Mitosis • Mitosis is the process by which a cell’s genetic material divides to create two sets of the cell’s genetic material. The product is two cells with a full set of identical genes and chromosomes, but the daughter cells are half the size of the parent cell. • Before mitosis can occur, the genetic information in the DNA of the parent cell is duplicated exactly. During cell division one copy is distributed to each cell. • Cytokinesis follows mitosis. In cytokinesis the cell divides the organelles and cytoplasm between the two new cells.

11. Interphaseoccurs before mitosis begins • Chromosomes are copied • Chromosomes appear as threadlike coils (chromatin) at the start, but each chromosome and its copy(sister chromosome) are called sister chromatids at end of this phase CELL MEMBRANE Nucleus Cytoplasm

12. S Phase of Interphase One chromosome 2 sister chomatids Held by a centromere

14. Prophase 1st step in Mitosis • Centrioles(or poles) appear and begin to move to opposite end of the cell. • Spindle fibers form between the poles. • Chromosomesshorten and thicken • Nuclear membrane and nucleoli disassemble Centrioles Sister chromatids Spindle fibers

16. Metaphase 2nd step in Mitosis • Chromatids (replicated chromosomes) attach to the spindle fibers at the centromere. • Chromosomes line up at the equator • Centrosome- Microtubule (spindle fibers) organizing center. Centrioles in Centrosome area equator pole Spindle fibers pole

18. Anaphase 3rdstep in Mitosis • Chromatids (replicated chromosomes) separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell. Centrioles Spindle fibers

20. Telophase4th step in Mitosis • Two new nuclei form. • Chromosomes appear as chromatin (threads rather than rods). • Mitosis ends. Nuclei Nuclei Chromatin

22. Cytokinesisoccurs after mitosis • Cell membrane moves inward to create two daughter cells – each with its own nucleus with identical chromosomes. Animals divide by a cleavage furrow and plants divide by building a cell plate
