Why do offspring look different?
Unless you’re an identical twin, you probably don’t look exactly like any siblings you might
have. You might have differences in physical characteristics such as eye color, hair color, ear
shape, or height. Why are there differences in the offspring from the same parents?
Procedure
1. Read and complete a lab safety form.
2. Open the paper bag labeled Male
Parent, and, without looking, remove
three beads. Record the bead colors in
your Science Journal, and replace the
beads.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each member
of the group.
5. After each member has recorded his or
her bead colors, study the results. Each
combination of male and female beads
represents an offspring.
3. Open the paper bag labeled Female
Parent and remove three beads. Record
the bead colors and replace the beads.
Think About This
1. Compare your group’s offspring to another group’s offspring. What similarities or
differences do you observe?

Writing Activity: Revisions
Learning the Skill
Few people get everything right the first time. When you draw a picture, you probably erase
and sketch it many times. A theater performance requires many rehearsals before it is ready
for an audience. In a similar way, the writing process involves more than one draft. After
you gather ideas, take notes, and develop an outline, you write a draft, which puts the ideas
together. Then it is time to revise. Revision takes a piece of writing to the next level. During
this step, you review your work to make sure your ideas will be clear to your readers. Multiple
revisions are often necessary. It might help to think of revisions on four different levels:
• Overall Structure—Readers can understand your writing more clearly if you combine
related ideas. As you review your writing, circle each main point in a different color.
Then underline each sentence that supports that point in the same color. If your
paragraph contains marks of several different colors, move sentences to the paragraph
they support. If you find sentences that are not circled or underlined, delete the
sentence or use it in a new paragraph.
• Paragraphs—Make sure the main idea in each paragraph is adequately supported.
Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Several types of sentences can support a main idea. Use the following list to evaluate
the strength of each paragraph. If your review shows that an idea needs more support,
add one of the sentence types from this list.
Paragraph Number
Supporting Sentences:
Main Idea:
Detail:
Example:
Fact:
Quotation:
• Sentences—Review your sentence patterns. Are your sentences mostly short or long?
Do their beginnings vary, or do they start the same way? Some ways to add variety to
your sentences include
inserting a short sentence between two long ones;
combining two sentences into one longer, compound sentence;
changing the passive to the active tense to make the writing more vivid and concise.
• Word Choice—Review your draft again, checking for repeated words or words that are
too general. Highlight nouns, verbs, adjectives, and phrases you have used more than
once. Then use a thesaurus to find alternate words. Highlight general words and
replace them with more concise ones; for example, tree → oak; dog → beagle; red →
crimson.

Practicing the Skill
Directions: Read the following draft. Then answer each question or respond to each statement on the
lines provided.
Meiosis is a special type of cell division that produces eggs and sperm for sexual reproduction.
Mitosis is a different process by which cells divide. Meiosis is cell division that produces
eggs or sperm from certain cells in an organism’s reproductive system. Meiosis is a process
that only takes place in eukaryotes that reproduce sexually. Sexual reproduction only occurs
among some organisms.
1. What is the main idea of the paragraph?
2. Which two sentences do not fit the main idea of the paragraph? What do you think
the writer should do with these sentences? Explain why.
Revise the sentence below to eliminate the repetition.
Meiosis is cell division that produces eggs or sperm from certain cells in an organism’s
reproductive system.
4. Look at the sentence you revised in question 3. Three sentences start with the words
“Meiosis is.” Make an additional revision to the sentence above or another sentence to
vary the sentence structure.
Applying the Skill
Directions: Review a piece of writing that you have worked on for this class. Evaluate it using the four levels of
revisions outlined under Learning the Skill. Then use the suggested strategies to revise your draft. Exchange your
revised paper with a partner to find out whether your ideas are clear.

If one of the numbers in a proportion is unknown, cross multiply to change the proportion
to an equation. Then solve the equation for the unknown number.
You know that 1 cell produces 2 daughter cells at the end of mitosis. How many daughter
cells will be produced by 19 cells?
Step 1 Use the information in the problem to write a proportion.

Rescuing Native Plants
Most North American food crops are
not native. Instead, they were brought to
America by European settlers. Many of these
crops are not resistant to American diseases
and pests—but native plants often are.
That’s why native plants play an important
role in growing healthy food crops.
drier and hotter conditions than most
other species of rice. Such traits are
especially useful in areas that experience
droughts, or extended periods of belowaverage rainfall. The traits might also be
needed if Earth’s surface temperatures
continue to rise on a global level.
Breeding with Native Plants
Benefits Versus Costs
Scientists can breed native plants with
crop plants to produce hardier plants. For
example, if potatoes are threatened by
disease, scientists can cross potatoes with
a native plant that has traits that make it
naturally disease resistant. Using the same
technique, scientists can produce plants
that are more resistant to pests. Improved
resistance has environmental benefits as
well, because farmers can use less chemical
pesticide.
Some native plants are better able to
withstand the climatic conditions in
different parts of America. For example,
a wild rice plant grows on the banks of a
single stream in Texas. This plant, which is
in danger of becoming extinct, can survive
Most scientists agree that native plants
should be preserved. They point out that
the health of the planet depends on a high
level of species diversity. In addition, some
native plants might have unknown
medicinal or commercial value; if they
become extinct, these benefits are lost
forever.
However, other experts point out that
the cost of saving each native plant is
very high. They argue that society must
determine the potential value of each
species before paying the high cost of
saving that species. About 700 native plants
in the United States are endangered, or at
risk of becoming extinct. That’s nearly onefourth of all native plants in the country.
Applying Critical-Thinking Skills
Directions: Answer each question or respond to each statement.

Clone from the past?
Cloning is a type of asexual reproduction
that produces offspring from cells taken
from a multicellular organism. Scientists
have successfully cloned sheep. But can
they produce a clone from an animal that
died more than 23,000 years ago?
temperatures that preserved the fossil also
severely damaged the chromosomes in the
mammoth’s body cells. Extreme cold had
burst the cells. There was not enough DNA
to clone the mammoth.
New Hope
The Woolly Mammoth
In 2007, scientists discovered yet
another mammoth in Siberia. “It’s a lovely
little baby mammoth indeed, found in
perfect condition,” said Alexei Tikhonov,
deputy director of the Russian Academy of
Science’s Zoological Institute. “This
specimen may provide unique material
allowing us to ultimately decipher the
genetic makeup of the mammoth.”
The baby mammoth, named Lyuba,
once again raised hopes of cloning a
mammoth. Dr. Ian Barnes of the University
of London stated that he now believes a
mammoth will be cloned in his lifetime.
Tikhonov, however, points out that
whole cells are needed for cloning. He is
doubtful that Lyuba’s cells, which endured
freezing temperatures, are intact. Other
scientists note that, even if a mammoth
is cloned, its natural habitat no longer
exists. They argue that it would be better
to spend time and resources preserving
endangered species that are now in danger
of extinction.

In 1999, a helicopter pulled an
18-metric-ton block of ice and soil from
the ground in northern Siberia. Inside that
huge block were the frozen remains of a
woolly mammoth. Other mammoths had
been discovered before. But most were
fossilized bones and tusks. This mammoth,
called the Zharkov mammoth, was thought
at first to be well preserved. Some of its skin,
hair, and soft tissue appeared to be intact.
Scientists hoped to clone the woolly
mammoth by extracting DNA from its cells.
Studies have shown that mammoths have a
close genetic relationship with modern
elephants. So the mammoth’s DNA would
be placed in the egg cell of a female
elephant. The elephant would serve as a
substitute mother. Eventually, she would
give birth to a live woolly mammoth.
As the fossil was carefully thawed,
however, scientists found that only a
small fraction of its soft parts were intact.

Mitosis and Meiosis
During cellular reproduction, many changes occur in the nucleus of cells involving the
chromosomes. You could think about these changes as a set of choreographed moves
like you would see in a dance. In this lab, you will act out the moves that chromosomes
make during mitosis and meiosis in order to understand the steps that occur when cells
reproduce.
Ask a Question

3. The chromosomes duplicate during interphase. Each chromosome is joined by another
chromosome of the same color, creating a double-stranded chromosome.
4. Perform mitosis.
a. During prophase, the nuclear membrane breaks apart, and the nucleolus disappears.
b. In metaphase, duplicated chromosomes align in the middle of the cell.
c. The sister chromatids separate in anaphase.
d. In telophase, the nuclear membrane reforms around two daughter cells.
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3. Perform meiosis.
a. In prophase I, the nuclear membrane breaks apart, the nucleolus disappears, and
homologous chromosomes pair up.
b. In metaphase I, homologous chromosomes line up along the center of the cell.
c. During anaphase I, the pairs of homologous chromosomes separate.
d. In telophase I, the nuclear membrane reforms.
e. Each daughter cell now performs meiosis II independently. In prophase II, the
nuclear membrane breaks down, and the nucleolus disappears.

Cell Reproduction
Directions: Use the information and data from the Lab Mitosis and Meiosis to perform this lab.
You have acted out the moves that chromosomes make during mitosis and meiosis. This
should help you understand the steps that occur when cells reproduce. Sometimes, during
prophase I of meiosis, parts of homologous chromosomes might cross over each other and
exchange sections of their chromatids. Crossing over results in new combinations of alleles
that increase genetic diversity. Design a procedure similar to the original lab to model how
crossing over occurs. You will need to replace the pool noodles with a material that can be
cut or broken safely.
Please note that you must complete Lab B before beginning Lab C. Have your teacher
approve your design and safety procedures before beginning your experiment.

Lesson Outline for Teaching
Lesson 1: Sexual Reproduction and Meiosis
A. What is sexual reproduction?
1. Sexual reproduction produces an offspring when genetic materials from two
different sex cells combine.
a. The female sex cell, a(n) egg, forms in an ovary.
b. The male sex cell, a(n) sperm, forms in a testis.
2. During a process called fertilization, an egg cell and a sperm cell join together. The
new cell that forms is called a(n) zygote.
B. Diploid Cells
1. Organisms that reproduce sexually make two kinds of cells—body cells and sex cells.
2. Body cells are diploid; they have pairs of chromosomes.
3. If a zygote has too many or too few chromosomes, it will not develop properly.
4. Different organisms have different numbers of chromosomes.
5. Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes that have genes for the same
traits arranged in the same order.
C. Haploid Cells
1. Sex cells are haploid; they have only one chromosome from each pair of
chromosomes.
D. The Phases of Meiosis
1. Meiosis involves two divisions of the nucleus and the cytoplasm. These divisions,
known as meiosis I and meiosis II, result in four haploid cells.
2. During interphase, the reproductive cell grows and duplicates its chromosomes.
3. During meiosis I, each pair of duplicated homologous chromosomes separates.
4. After meiosis I, the two cells formed during this stage go through a second division
of the nucleus and cytoplasm called meiosis II. During meiosis II, sister chromatids
separate to produce four haploid cells.
E. Why is meiosis important?
1. Meiosis forms sex cells with the correct haploid number of chromosomes. This
maintains the correct diploid number of chromosomes in organisms when sex cells
join.
2. Meiosis creates genetic variation by producing haploid cells.
T2
Reproduction of Organisms
Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
2. In meiosis, one diploid cell divides and makes four haploid cells.
Lesson Outline continued
F. How do mitosis and meiosis differ?
1. During mitosis and cell division, a body cell and its nucleus divide once and
produce two identical cells.
2. During meiosis, a reproductive cell and its nucleus divide twice and produce four
cells––two pairs of identical haploid cells.
G. Advantages of Sexual Reproduction
1. Sexual reproduction produces offspring that have a new combination of DNA. This
results in genetic variation among individuals.
2. Genetic variation gives individuals within a population slight differences that
might be an advantage if the environment changes.
3. Selective breeding has been used to develop desirable traits in plants and animals.
H. Disadvantages of Sexual Reproduction
1. One disadvantage of sexual reproduction is that organisms have to grow and
develop until they are mature enough to produce sex cells.
2. Another disadvantage is that searching for a mate takes time and energy and might
expose individuals to predators, diseases, or harsh environmental conditions.

Lesson Outline for Teaching
Lesson 2: Asexual Reproduction
A. What is asexual reproduction?
1. In asexual reproduction, one parent organism produces offspring without meiosis
and fertilization.
2. Because the offspring of asexual reproduction inherit all their DNA from one
parent, they are genetically identical to each other and their parent.
B. Types of Asexual Reproduction
1. Cell division in prokaryotes is known as fission.
2. During fission, DNA is copied and the cell splits to form two identical offspring.
The original cell no longer exists.
3. Many unicellular eukaryotes reproduce by mitotic cell division. In this type of
asexual reproduction, an organism forms two offspring through mitosis and cell
division.
4. In budding, a new organism grows on the body of its parent by mitosis and cell
division. When the bud becomes large enough, it can break from the parent and
live on its own.
5. Regeneration occurs when an offspring grows from a piece of its parent.
a. Sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and planarians can reproduce through
regeneration.
reproduction; new individuals are not produced.
6. Vegetative reproduction is a form of asexual reproduction in which offspring grow
from a part of a parent plant.
7. Cloning is a type of asexual reproduction developed by scientists and performed in
laboratories. It produces identical individuals from a cell or from a cluster of cells
taken from a multicellular organism.
8. Using a cloning method called tissue culture, plant growers and scientists use a
meristem to make a copy of a plant with desirable traits.
9. Because all of a clone’s chromosomes come from one parent, the clone is a genetic
copy of its parent.
10. Asexual reproduction enables organisms to reproduce without a(n) mate.
11. Asexual reproduction also enables some organisms to rapidly produce a large
number of offspring.
12. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other
and to their parent. This results in little genetic variation within a population.

has the correct number of chromosomes for
a species. It is a body cell. A haploid cell has
half the number of chromosomes as a diploid

7. Possible answer: Meiosis produces haploid sex
cells. These cells have half the number of
chromosomes as a diploid cell in an adult
organism of a species. When the sex cells
combine, the fertilized egg has a haploid set of
chromosomes from each parent. It is a diploid
cell that develops into a diploid offspring.

1. For many generations, native plants that were
resistant to disease and pests survived and
reproduced. The resistant traits were passed on to
their offspring. Meanwhile, those native plants
that were not resistant to disease and pests died
off. Eventually, the population of native plants
was made up mainly of resistant plants.

that have no current known value might
have important uses in the future. Saving
plants that aren’t useful to people is still
necessary because other organisms might

depend upon these plants for survival.
Preserve some: Because of budget restrictions,
some plants might be targeted for preservation
and others are allowed to become extinct. In
this situation, it would be best to determine
which plants are likely to be useful to people.

Prophase I: Chromosomes appear as homologous
pairs. Metaphase I: Chromosomes align in the
middle of the cell. Anaphase I: Each pair of
homologous chromosomes is pulled apart. Telophase
I: Chromosomes are pulled to the opposite ends of
the cell, and the cytoplasm divides. Prophase II:
Nuclear membrane breaks apart. Metaphase II: Pairs
of sister chromatids align in middle of the cell.
Anaphase II: Sister chromatids begin to separate and
move to opposite ends of the cells. Telophase II: A
nuclear membrane forms around each set of
chromatids, and the cytoplasm divides.

1. Possible answer: How do sponges use budding
to reproduce?
2. Possible answer: A sponge grows offspring,
called buds, on its body. The buds can break
off and grow into sponges, or they can
continue to live on the parent.
3. Possible answer: I will get slides of budding
sponges and look at them under a microscope.
I will also get a live budding sponge and see
how the buds grow on the sponge. I will break
off a bud and see whether it is able to grow
on its own.
4. Possible answer: I will describe and draw what
I see under the microscope. I will make a
sketch of the live sponge and sketches of the
bud over a period of two weeks, to show
whether the bud is growing.
5. Possible answer: Live budding sponges or
slides of budding sponges might not be
available. I could use another organism that
buds, such as a hydra.

7. Possible answer: Cloning is a form of asexual
reproduction that produces genetically
identical offspring. It is a technique developed
by scientists and does not occur in nature.
Offspring are produced from a cell or a cluster
of cells taken from a multicellular organism.

1. In the past, cloning described any process
that produced genetically identical offspring.
Today, cloning usually refers to a type of
asexual reproduction developed by scientists
and performed in laboratories.
2. Vegetative reproduction is most similar to
animal regeneration because in both types of
asexual reproduction a new organism grows
from a part of the parent organism.
3. No; a new organism was not produced.
4. Possible answer: A tissue culture is done by
humans. It does not occur in nature.
Vegetative reproduction occurs in nature.

1. The extreme cold that preserved the woolly
mammoths also damaged their cells. Scientists
need whole cells to clone an animal.
2. Possible answer: Scientists might be able to
understand why the animal became extinct.
They might also learn more about the
animal’s physical characteristics and its
behaviors, as well as its environment.
4. Students’ drawings should include a small
hydra growing from the side of an adult hydra.

9. In both mitosis and meiosis I, replicated
chromosomes are separated into daughter
cells. A difference is that homologous
chromosomes line up next to each other in
metaphase I of meiosis, but they do not line
up next to each other in metaphase of
mitosis. Another difference is that at the end
of meiosis I, daughter cells contain replicated
sister chromatids, but after mitosis, cells
contain a single copy of the chromosome.
10. Cells are identical at the beginning and at the
end of mitosis. At the beginning of meiosis,
cells contain pairs of homologous
chromosomes. At the end of meiosis, cells
contain only one chromosome from the pair
of homologous chromosomes.
T10
Communicate Your Results Students’ charts should
depict the following stages of mitosis and meiosis.
Charts should include written descriptions of
common organelles and the function they perform
at each stage of mitosis and meiosis. Nuclear
membrane, chromosomes, and cell membrane
should be clearly labeled in each drawing. Example:
Mitosis: stage 1, Interphase, G2, chromosomes
replicate; stage 2, prophase, nuclear membrane
breaks down; stage 3, metaphase, chromosomes line
up in middle of cell; stage 4, anaphase, sister
chromatids move to opposite sides of cell; stage 5,
telophase, nuclear membrane forms around
chromosomes
Meiosis: stage 1, interphase, G2, chromosomes
replicate; stage 2, prophase I, nuclear membrane
breaks down; stage 3, metaphase I, homologous
chromosomes line up next to each other in middle
of cell; stage 4, anaphase I, one of each pair of
homologous chromosomes move to opposite sides of
cell; stage 5, telophase, nuclear membrane forms
around chromosomes; stage 6, prophase II, nuclear
membrane breaks; stage 7, metaphase II,
chromosomes line up in the center of the cell; stage
8, anaphase II, sister chromatids move to opposite
sides of the cell; stage 9, nuclear membrane forms
around chromosomes
B. Extension Numerous genetic disorders are caused
by errors in meiotic division. Many are related to the
nondisjunction of sex chromosomes. For example,
Turner syndrome occurs when a female has an XO
genotype. Turner syndrome results in women who
are sterile, generally short in stature, and have folds
of skin around their necks. Women with Trisomy X
have a genotype XXX. Many women with this
defect have very little abnormality. Kleinfelter
syndrome results from a genotype XXY. Many of
these men show mixed secondary sexual
characteristics. Men with a genotype XYY tend to
be taller than average. In terms of autosomal
chromosomes, the most common nondisjunctions
result in chromosomes 13, 18, and 21. Most often an
embryo with only one copy of an autosomal
chromosome does not survive. Trisomy 21 is also
called Down syndrome. Trisomy 18 is called Edwards
syndrome, and it results in severe abnormalities.
Trisomy 13 is called Patau syndrome.

1. Reproduction ensures the survival of species.
If living things stopped reproducing, they
would eventually die off.
2. Sexual reproduction is the production of
offspring by the joining of a sperm and an
egg. Asexual reproduction is the production of
offspring by one parent.
3. Meiosis is important because it maintains the
chromosome number of a species from one
generation to the next.

Short Answer
16. Each body cell in the kittens will have
38 chromosomes. The body cells of offspring
have the same number of chromosomes as
the parents’ body cells.
17. There will be 19 chromosomes in a normal
cat’s sex cells. Sex cells have half the number
of chromosomes as body cells.
18. Animal regeneration is a type of asexual
reproduction that occurs when an offspring
grows from a part of its parent.
Concept Application
19. Answers will vary but should include that
asexual reproduction allows organisms to
produce a large number of offspring in a short
amount of time. It also allows an organism to
reproduce without a mate.
20. Answers will vary but should include that
sexual reproduction produces offspring that
have half their genetic material from each of
two parents, which produces genetic variation
among the offspring. Thus, each offspring has
a slightly different set of traits, which might
make it resistant to disease or help it survive
if the environment changes.

18. Answers will vary but should include that
vegetative reproduction and animal
regeneration are forms of asexual reproduction
that involve an offspring growing from a part

in some animals, whereas vegetative
reproduction occurs in some plants.
Concept Application
19. Answers will vary. Advantages are that asexual
reproduction allows organisms to produce a
large number of offspring in a short amount of
time. It also allows an organism to reproduce
without a mate. Disadvantages include that the
offspring are genetically identical to their
parents, which means that they are vulnerable
to the same disease and problems as their
parents. Also, mutations can occur and then be
passed to offspring, which can have a negative
impact on the offspring’s ability to survive.

14. The sperm and egg are haploid. The zygote
and parents’ body cells are diploid.
15. The sex cells would not have the correct
number of chromosomes—they would be
diploid rather than haploid. When the egg
and sperm combined, the zygote would have
twice as many chromosomes as a normal cat.
Short Answer
16. Answers will vary. Students might agree that
sexually reproducing organisms always have
an even number of chromosomes in their
body cells because the cells have pairs of
chromosomes (homologous chromosomes).
If students disagree, they must justify their
answer, perhaps by saying that there are
always exceptions to the rule.
Chapter Test C (page 60)
17. Answers will vary but should include that
mistakes in chromosome replication or
separation would result in the sex cells
containing a different number of
chromosomes than half the diploid number.
In this case, the resulting zygote might not
be completely normal or viable.
