7. 1 different life cycles - prokaryotic (1 kind) and eukaryotic (3 kinds!) 7. 2 both binary fission (prokaryotic) and mitosis (eukaryotic) produce genetically identical. 7. 3 cell reproduction is under precise control otherwise ca(cid:374)cer! Chapter 7 the cell cycle and cell division. 7. 4 meiosis halves the nuclear chromosome content and generates diversity always alternates with fertilization, which fuses two chromosome sets. The lifespan of an organism is linked to cell reproduction, or cell division: a parent cell duplicates its genetic material and then divides into two similar cells. Cell division is important in growth and repair of multicellular organisms and the reproduction of all organisms. Organisms have two basic strategies for reproducing themselves: asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction: the offspring are clones genetically identical to the parent, any genetic variations are due to mutations (changes in dna sequences due to environmental factors or copying errors) Single-celled eukaryotes can reproduce by mitosis and cytokinesis.
