Across
- 1. offspring grows out of the body of the parent (buds)
- 8. a change that occurs in the DNA sequence
- 9. the passing down of traits from one generation to the next
- 10. type of reproduction that requires one parent and the resulting offspring is genetically identical to the parent
- 11. type of cell divsion that results in two genetically identical daughter cells
- 12. occurs when egg and sperm meet and form a zygote
Down
- 1. fully grown parent cell splits into two halves, producing two new cells
- 2. basic physical and functional unit of heredity
- 3. a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells
- 4. type of reproduction thatrequires two parents each passing half of their genetic material onto their offspring
- 5. if a piece of a parent is detached, it can grow and develop into a completely new offspring
- 6. reproductive cells (sperm or egg)
- 7. the body of the parent breaks into distinct pieces, each piece can produce an offspring
