Cell Division & Reproduction Test: Tuesday, April 26, 2016
Cell Division
 What type of organisms use cell division? (know eukaryotes vs. prokaryotes)
 In which stage of cell division do cells spend most of their time?
 What 3 reasons can cell division be used for? How is it used in single celled vs. multi-celled organisms?
 Forms of DNA: differences between chromatin, chromosomes, & sister chromatids
 Mitosis
o Know the stages for each: identify pictures, know the order, AND tell what happens
o What uses of cell division are specific to mitosis?
 Meiosis
o Know the stages for each: identify pictures, know the order, AND tell what happens
o What uses of cell division are specific to meiosis?
 Compare/Contrast Mitosis & Meiosis: How are the processes similar and different? *Venn Diagram!
Reproduction
 Asexual vs. Sexual
o How does each method of reproduction work?
o Which method relates to follows mitosis and which relates to meiosis?
o Advantages and disadvantages of each method
o What do the offspring look like compared to the parent for each?
o Various types of asexual reproduction (pages 317 & 319 in textbook)
 Sexual Reproduction: Internal vs. External Fertilization
o Explain the difference between internal and external fertilization
o Characteristics of each (# of offspring, chance of forming a zygote)
