3. Prokaryotic Cell Undergoing Binary Fission (Asexual)

4. Cell division ? ?

5. Identical Daughter Cells
Two identical daughter cells
Parent Cell

6. Also used by many organisms Humans, Trees etc Promotes variation
Sexual reproduction
Also used by many organisms
Humans, Trees etc
Promotes variation
Mixing genes from two individuals together creates an almost infinite variety of choices

7. New Cells are Formed from Cell Division
2 trillion cells are produced by adult humans every day! 25 million new cells per second!
Gamete- an organism’s reproductive cells
Female- egg cell
Male- sperm cell
Haploid- Contains 1 set of chromosomes
n=23
Somatic cells- all the other cells in your body
Diploid- contains 2 sets of chromosomes
2n=46
