How do yeast reproduce?
Some organisms can produce offspring without meiosis or fertilization. You can observe this
process when you add sugar and warm water to dried yeast.
Procedure
1. Read and complete a lab safety form.
2. Pour 125 mL of water into a beaker.
The water should be at a temperature
of 34°C.
3. Add 5 g of sugar and 5 g of yeast to
the water. Stir slightly. Record your
observations after 5 minutes in your
Science Journal.
4. Using a dropper, put a drop of the
yeast solution on a microscope slide.
Place a coverslip over the drop.
5. View the yeast solution under a
microscope. Draw what you see in
your Science Journal.
Think About This
1. What evidence did you observe that yeast reproduce?
28
Key Concept How do you think this process differs from sexual reproduction?

What parts of plants can grow?
You probably know that plants can grow from seeds. But you might be surprised to learn
that other parts of plants can grow and produce a new plant.
Procedure
1. Carefully examine the photos of
vegetative reproduction shown in your
textbook.
2. Create a data chart in your Science
Journal to record your observations.
Identify which part of the plant (leaf,
stem, etc.) would be used to grow a
new plant.

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.
Applying Critical-Thinking Skills
Directions: Respond to each statement.
1. Explain the main obstacle to cloning the woolly mammoth.
2. Deduce the information that scientists might learn—other than genetic makeup—by
studying the remains of an extinct animal.

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.
Further study showed that the same cold
