2. asexual

involves only one parent and the offspring are exactly like the parent

3. variation

any difference between individuals of the same species

4. DNA

hereditary information

5. interphase

Normal cell activity (chromosomes duplicate)

6. Prophase

beginning of mitosis and meiosis

7. Metaphase

nuclear membrane is gone, chromosomes line up in middle of the cell

8. anaphase

chromosomes move away from each other

9. telophase
