 2) i) Why is binary fission classified as sexual
reproduction ?

Binary fission is a type of a sexual reproduction in which nuclei

of a single called organisms break into 2. For example, in
amoeba nuclei breaks into 2 and after a gradual process
amoeba breaks up into two daughter cells.
 2) ii) When does a chromosome consist of
two identical chromatids ?

This occur at the end of S phase in interphase through the end

of metaphase in mitosis. The chromosomes are duplicated
during S phase, and each duplicated chromosome is made up
of two sister chromatids. Besides, during mitosis, sister
chromatids are separated.
 2) iii) What are the differences between
mitosis and meiosis ?
Both mitosis and meiosis are associated with cytokinesis. The end
result of both are daughter cells produced from a parent cell. The
fundamental sequence of events in mitosis is the same as in
meiosis (in meiosis it happens twice). Both processes include the
breakdown of the nucleas membrane, the separation of genetic
material into two groups, followed by cell division and the
reformation of the nucleus membrane in each cells. The process
differ in two fundamental. Meiosis has two rounds of genetic
separation and cellular division while mitosis only has one of each.
In meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate leading to
daughter cells that are not genetically identical. In mitosis, the
daughter cells are identical to the parent as well as to each other.
 2) iv) Contrast cytokinesis in animals with
cytokinesis in plants.
In animal cells, the first sign of cytokinesis is the appearance
of an indentation around the middle of the cell. The ring
contracts like the pulling of a drawstring and pinches the
parent cell in two. Because the two new nuclei are forming at
the ends of the cell, cytokinesis results in two new cells. In
cytokinesis a cell plate forms inside the cell and grows
outward. Eventually this new piece of cell wall divides the cell
in two. The result is two daughter cells, each bounded by its
own continuous membrane and its own cell wall.
