Life Cycle Unit Review

• Define life cycle.
• Using the terms – reproduction, death, growth, and birth – make a generalized life cycle.
• Differentiate between asexual and sexual reproduction.
• Define the following terms: meiosis, mitosis, gamete, spore, fertilization
• During the plant’s life cycle, the sporophyte stage reproduces in what way?
• During the plant’s life cycle, the gametophyte stage reproduces in what way?
• In order for sexual reproduction to occur, organisms must go through meiosis. Explain why.
• At the end of the meiosis process, the cells only have one copy of the DNA. What are these cells called?
• What is a zygote? How is it formed?
• As a result of sexual reproduction, each parent gives the offspring ________ of its DNA, resulting in the offspring having _________ of DNA. The cells at the end of this process are called
