Section 3
Mitosis/Meiosis debrief
Asexual/Sexual reproduction notes
If time begin dragon genetics

general growth & repair

all cells go through it except
eggs & sperm
exact copies of the parent cell
are made

produces eggs and sperm that

have HALF of the
chromosomes of other cells
when combined with the other
parents sex cell, the cell now
has the full number of
chromosomes

bacteria, worms, copperhead

snakes, spider plant

pretty much everything else

saves energy
no courtship

low genetic
variation
slows down
evolution

high genetic
variation
speeds up
evolution

uses a lot of
energy
requires
courtship
time & energy
consuming

What do we mean
by energy?

making new organisms with two

parents, leads to genetic variation
but costs lots of energy
making new organisms with one parent,
leads to little genetic variation but costs
less energy, essentially cloning
cell replication for making eggs or sperm for
sexual reproduction, each cell gets half of the
genetic info
cell replication for growth or repair,
essentially cloning
