You
must show that you understand the following information by 1/22/10 |
|
Compare and
contrast the reproductive mechanisms of classes of vertebrates (i.e.,
internal vs. external fertilization). |
|
|
|
Recognize that
when sexual reproduction occurs, the offspring is not identical to
either parent due to the combining of the different genetic codes
contained in each sex cell. |
|
|
|
Recognize that
when sexual reproduction occurs, genetic material from both parents is
passed on and combined to form the genetic code for the new organism. |
|
|
|
Explain how
flowering plants reproduce sexually. |
|
|
|
Identify
chromosomes as cellular structures that occur in pairs that carry
hereditary information in units called genes. |
|
|
|
Recognize that
when asexual reproduction occurs, the same genetic information found
in the parent cell is copied and passed on to each new daughter cell |
|
|
|
Identify
examples of asexual reproduction (i.e., plants budding, binary fission
of single cell organisms). |
|
|
|
Recognize that
when asexual reproduction occurs, the daughter cell is identical to
the parent cell (assuming no change in the parent genes). |
|
|
|
Compare and
contrast the processes of asexual and sexual reproduction, including
the type and number of cells involved (one body cell in asexual, two
cells in sexual), and the number of gene sets (body cells has two
sets, sex cells have one set) passed from parent(s) to offspring. |
