Unit 3 Types Of Asexual Reproduction

In a cell cycle, there are specific checkpoints between each phases caused by the occurrence of cyclin. Cyclin determines how concentration flunctuatues. If the regulation is disrupted by a decreasein cyclin, there would be no mitosis, meaning the cell cycle would continuously go thre G0 phase. However, if there is an increase

Meiosis consists of one DNA replication and two nuclear divisions resulting in 4 daughter cells. The process which provides for genetic variation is crossing over. Crossing over occurs in the early stages when homologous chromosomes move together so that their chromatids form a tetrad. This is called synapsis and allows for the exchange of chromosome sections.

Budding is a type of Asexual Reproduction, when the parental body grows reproductive units on its body, called buds. The buds will eventually grow into a full size organism. In the process of developing, the bud may be separated from the parental cell when growing, or may be separated only after it grows to full size.

The cell cycle is a series of stages that occurs when a new cells makes the division from the parent cell to two daughter cells. This is a stage in cellular reproduction. The cell cycle consists of three phases, interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. During Interphase, a cell will continue to perform its functions as usual. The time frame for Interphase varies; while an embryonic cell will take just a few hours to complete the cycle, a stem cell from an adult can take 24 hours (Mader, Windelspecht, 2015). After the interphase stage completes itself, a complete nuclear division happens and mitosis occurs. During the stage of mitosis, the daughter cells will receive the same amounts of the contents of the parent cell. Throughout the last stage, in the cytoplasm there is a division known as Cytokinesis (Mader, Windelspecht, 2015). Cytokinesis occurs differently in plant cells than it does in animal cells, as the cell wall around the plant prevents the process from happening the same way. Instead, a new plasma membrane and cell walls are built are built between the daughter cells. However, in animal cells a single cell will become two (Mader, Windelspecht, 2015).

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease which is progressive and limits breathing ability. The lungs and other organs are affected by a thick buildup of mucus. This mucus traps bacteria which leads lung damage, infections, and respiratory failure. The digestive enzymes being released is prevented, affecting the breakdown of food and nutrients being absorbed. ?More than 30,000 children and adults in the United States have Cystic Fibrosis. 70,000 people worldwide.? (Diagnosed With Cystic Fibrosis, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation) Someone who has Cystic Fibrosis have a defective gene from each parent which produces faulty protein. The CFTR gene is the gene that is mutated causing this. The channel that transports chloride in and out of cells is created by instructions that are created by CFTR gene. The regulation of chloride ions and water are prevented creating the thick mucus formed on the passageways of lungs, pancreas, and other organs. Cystic Fibrosis doesn?t cause learning problems are mobility of the person. Babies with this still develop and grow up normally. The average life expectancy is close to 40 years, and has been increasing in the last fifty years thanks to improved care. ?Chronic coughing, recurring chest colds, wheezing, shortness of breath, frequent sinus infections, and allergies that last all year, are the most common symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis.? (Cystic Fibrosis Symptoms) Since this disease is progressive

This happens when an affected parent has one recessive gene and one dominant gene whereas the other has two recessive genes, which allows two children to get two recessive genes meaning they will not be affected. Whereas the other two have one dominant gene meaning they will be affected by the disease.

The genetic disease that I am writing about is called Cystic Fibrosis. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetically transmitted disease that is caused by a defective gene that makes the body produce abnormally thick and sticky mucus, impacting your lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, sinuses, sex organs and sweat glands. Cystic Fibrosis makes this mucus can clog up your lungs and pancreas making it difficult to breath and serious digestive issues. This amount of thick mucus in the lungs can cause repeated lung infections or even permanent lung damage. The disease may also affect the sweat glands and a man's reproductive system. There are a lot of different symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis depending if it is affecting your digestive system or your lungs and

17) The process by which the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell divides to produce two cells is called

The cell cycle has four main stages. The cell cycle is the regular pattern of growth. The four stages consist of Gap 1 (G1), Synthesis (S), Gap 2 (G2), and Mitosis (M). Gap 1, consists of a cell that carries its normal functions. Calls also increase in size, and the organelles increase in number. A cell will spend the most time in this phase. But it also depends on the cell type to see how long it will spend in this phase. During this phase the cell has to pass a critical checkpoint before it can continue into the (S) stage, also called the Synthesis stage. It would be dangerous for a cell to keep dividing if the certain conditions were not met. The cells in this stage also need signals from the other cells to tell the if division is needed. Now the next stage is the Synthesis stage. During this phase the cell makes a copy of it’s nuclear DNA. By the end of the (S) phase DNA appears grainy in photos and the cell nucleus contains two complete sets of DNA. Gap 2, is the third stage of the cell cycle. The cells continue doing there thing and more growth occurs. This phase is like the checkpoint, everything in the cell has to be going right for the cell to be able to enter mitosis.

There are two types of diseases, infectious and genetic. Unlike infectious diseases that are caused by organisms such as bacteria, genetic disorders are caused by mutations in an organism’s DNA. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disorder that is recessive autosomal and causes the creation of thick and sticky mucus. Because the disorder is recessive there must be two recessive alleles present for the trait to be expressed. Whereas in dominant disorders only one dominant allele needs to be present to express a disorder. For there to be two recessive alleles, both of the parents must be homozygous recessive or heterozygous for the offspring to express the recessive trait. If the offspring is heterozygous they will become carriers of the disorder and

In contrast, when two individuals mate, the cells go through cell division or meiosis. This allows four daughter cells to produce from the original first cell. Since the offspring has genes and traits from both parents, the offspring will be unique. This is advantageous for evolutionary changes. Since each offspring is unique in their genetic material, some won’t be affected by a disease, such as HIV, AIDS, and viruses, as others might. This allows these offspring to survive. The

Binary Fission is a type of Asexual Reproduction when the whole parental body is the actual reproductive unit. The Nucleus, and the Cytoplasm of the parent organism create an exact copy of itself, which splits into two. Then, the parental cell separates itself into two daughter cells, which then grow to full size, and split

Binary fission is the process in which a cell grows twice its normal size, and then the cell divides in half to produce two daughter cells. This process is carried out by unicellular organisms because it is their only way of reproduction. The cell begins this process by replicating the cell’s DNA, and the duplicated chromosomes attach to the cytoplasmic membrane or microtubules. Once attached, these attachment sites push the chromosomes apart to expand the entire cell body. The cell now produces a new cytoplasmic membrane, and along the mid-line of the cell a septum begins to form. Upon completion of the

The cell cycle is separated into multiple stages such as G0, G1, S, G2, and M phase. During the G0 phase is the stage in which there is no sign of the cell preparing to separate but, rather a stagnant cell. The G1 phase involves the expansion of the cell and gathering all the nutrients and energy to prepare for the upcoming processes of the cell cycle. In the S phase,

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that creates uniform offspring. Asexual reproduction occurs mainly in single-celled organisms (organisms with one cell), and in a few multicellular organisms (an organism with more than one cell). Two examples of single-celled organisms are bacteria and amoeba. Bacteria is a single-celled organism forming one of the three domains of life. Amoeba is a single-celled animal that catches food and moves about by extending fingerlike projections of protoplasm. Asexual reproduction requires one parent, and the
