asexual reproduction - -directing cells to divide and develop into new tissues and
organs without a partner
sexual reproduction - --takes more time and energy than asexual reproduction
-genetically diverse offspring
-requires fertilization
-requires haploid gametes
-mating
most plants and animals produce_______ - -gametes called eggs and sperm
Meiosis - -nuclear division that forms haploid cells
Meiosis I - -diploid cells divide to create 2 haploid cells, each with one of the
homologous chromosomes
Meiosis II - -2 haploid cells divide to form 4 haploid cells, which develop into eggs or
sperm
Prophase I (Meiosis) - --chromosomes condense
-nuclear envelope breaks down
, -spindle fibers start to form (microtubules)
-crossing over occurs
Metaphase 1 (Meiosis) - -Pairs of homologous chromosomes move to metaphase
plate
Anaphase I (Meiosis) - -homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite
poles of the cell
Telophase and Cytokensis (Meiosis) - --chromosomes gather at poles of the cell
-cytoplasm divides
Prophase II (Meiosis) - --2 cells
-a new spindle forms around the chromosomes
Metaphase II (Meiosis) - -chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate/equator
Anaphase II (Meiosis) - --2 cells
-centromeres divide
-chromatids move to opposite poles of the cells
Telophase II and Cytokinesis (Meiosis) - --goes from 2 cells to 4 cells
-nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes
-cytoplasm divides
