Asexual Reproduction
2.1d In asexually reproducing organisms, all the genes come from a single parent. Asexually produced offspring are
normally genetically identical to the parent.
4.1d The zygote may divide by mitosis and differentiate to form the specialized cells, tissues, and organs of
multicellular organisms.
Sexual Reproduction
2.1e In sexually reproducing organisms, the new individual receives half of the genetic information from its mother
(via the egg) and half from its father (via the sperm). Sexually produced offspring often resemble, but are not
identical to, either of their parents.
4.1c The processes of meiosis and fertilization are key to sexual reproduction in a wide variety of organisms. The
process of meiosis results in the production of eggs and sperm which each contain half of the genetic
information. During fertilization, gametes unite to form a zygote, which contains the complete genetic
information for the offspring.
Living Environment NYS Regents – August 201
Failure of Mitosis
5.2i Gene mutations in a cell can result in uncontrolled cell division, called cancer. Exposure of cells to certain
chemicals and radiation increases mutations and thus increases the chance of cancer.
