Q Choose one of the prompts. Contrast asexual with sexual reproduction and give an example of an organism for each type of reproduction. Be sure to include these words in your description: mitosis and meiosis, haploid and diploid, genetic diversity, clone. NOTE: Diploid is defined as two sets of chromosomes - full set. Cells with a nucleus and centrosomes start mitosis or meiosis with diploid chromosomes. Gametes are haploid - half a set of chromosomes. (eggs, sperms, pollen, many types of spores) Prokaryotes are haploid and use binary fission not mitosis. OR Epigenetics inheritance is the inheritance of gene expression that is NOT due to the changes of the sequencing of the bases on the DNA. Watch the video above. Why is epigenetic inheritance like a ghost in your genes? EpigeneticsLinks to an external site.

Epigenetic inheritance entails the reversible alteration or modification of a chromosome or gene without changing it over the generations permanently, in an organism. Epigenetics entails normal processes in the cell, and functions to switch the transcription of protein on and off. For instance, differential expression is controlled by epigenetic silencing which includes three main processes that are DNA methylation, histone modifications, and RNA-associated silencing (Kubota et al., 2012).
