This week in science, we learned about reproduction.

To learn about reproduction, our class made a table. For organism reproduction and cell reproduction, we put:

• some use sperm and egg to reproduce
• others split in two
• makes a copy of organelles
• replicates(copies)
• before splitting, DNA must double in size

Under the category of: Sex vs. Reproduction, we wrote

• For Sex:
• 50% sperm cell
• 50% egg cell
• cell delivery service
  
• does not necessarily end with offspring

For Reproduction:

• Sperm and egg join together
• fertilize

This is important to know because reproduction is constantly going on.

To further explore reproducing cells, we found out the 5 stages of Mitosis and tried to find cells during those stages in a microscope while looking at an onion root tip slide.
