The document defines key genetics terms like heredity, DNA, genes and discusses different types of cell reproduction. It explains that asexual reproduction involves cell division to produce offspring identical to the parent, while sexual reproduction combines genetic material from two parents to create offspring that are not identical but can adapt to changes. Different asexual reproduction methods like budding, fragmentation and spore formation are outlined. The document also reviews mitosis and provides links about cloning applications in animals, stem cells and humans. Homework questions on specific pages are assigned.

1. Heredity, Reproduction &
Cloning

2. Define the following:
 Heredity
 Genetics
 DNA
 Gene
 Locus
 Diploid
 Haploid
 Polyploid

3. Asexual Reproduction - Copy
 Individual produced by a single parent by cell
division
 Offspring is identical to parent
 Advantages:
 No need for a mate
 Direct heredity
 Disadvantages:
 Can’t adapt to changing environments

4. Asexual Reproduction: Methods
 Fission (Binary)
 Runners
 Budding

5. Asexual Reproduction: Methods
 Spore Formation
 Fragmentation

6. Sister Chromatid vs.
Chromosome

10. Sexual Reproduction - Combine
 Individual produced from fusion of sex cells
(from 2 parents)
 Not genetically identical to parents (half of
genetic material from each parent)
 Disadvantages:
 Specialized organs
 Need to attract mate
 Inherit ‘weak’ genes
 Advantages:
 Ability to adapt to changes
