when a cell reproduces itself by splitting to form two cells with identical sets of chromosomes
mitosis
1 of 8
this produces four haploid cells whose chromosomes are NOT identical
meiosis
2 of 8
the fusion of male and female gametes
sexual reproduction
3 of 8
involves only one parent - the offspring have identical genes to the parent so there is no variation
asexual reproduction
4 of 8
different versions of the same gene
alleles
5 of 8
pairs with thymine
adenine
6 of 8
pairs with cytosine
guanine
