Diploid containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent Haploid having a single set of unpaired chromosomes

How many chromosomes do each of our cells have?

How many chromosomes do each of our cells have?

Chromosome nucleic acids and protein; in the nucleus of cells; carries genetic information Gene

Chromosome nucleic acids and protein; in the nucleus of cells; carries genetic information Gene physical and functional unit of heredity; sections on chromosomes; instructions to the cell Homologous same relation, relative position, or structure; features and pattern of genes

Sexual Reproduction provides variation; allows organisms more flexibility to adapt to environmental change; more

Sexual Reproduction provides variation; allows organisms more flexibility to adapt to environmental change; more complicated process; slower and riskier

Asexual Reproduction allows for faster reproduction; creates more offspring; does not allow for variation;

Asexual Reproduction allows for faster reproduction; creates more offspring; does not allow for variation; less flexible when the environment changes

Mutation occur during cellular accidents during processes like replication, recombination or transposition may also occur from exposure to foreign mutagens

What is a mutagen? a physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material

What is a mutagen? a physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material of an organism; increases the frequency of mutations above the natural level
