All genes in asexual reproduction come from _____?
one parent
In asexual reproduction, if a parent organism isn't doing so great, what happens to the offspring?

nucleus, divides one time
_____ occurs in sex cells and gametes and the nucleus divides _____ times.
Meiosis, 2
division of the cytoplasm, occurs in bot mitosis and meiosis
cytokinesis
The majority of the cell cycle is spent in what phase?
interphase
4 stages of mitosis and what happens in them?
Prophase- the beginning steps of division
Metaphase- chromosomes are lined up at the middle
