Document Summary
Asexual reproduction can result in rapid population growth. Binary fission (p 169: asexual reproduction, produces exact copies of parent, can result in rapid population growth. Two types of eukaryotic cell division: mitosis. Cell division of somatic (body) cells for growth repair, tissue renewal, reproduction: meiosis. Cell division which creates germ cells (sperm, egg: generates genetic diversity. Dividing of 1 cell into 2: parent cell divides into 2 daughter cells (parent cell no longer exists after division) Nb: parent = dividing cell, daughter = resulting cell. Contain different genes (nucleotide sequences coding for something) Total number of chromosomes if two sets = 2n (1 from each parent: ploid refers to chromosomes di = two, tf, diploid = 2 sets of each chromosome. Genetic material (heritable information: dna located in the nucleus, organized into chromosomes, chromosomes are part of chromatin. Chromatin - a complex of dna and associated proteins.
