LS.7.2.2 Genetic Variation and Reproduction Flashcard

Front

Which is the expected outcome of combining the DNA of two parents during sexual reproduction?

Back

genetic variation

Front

Why does meiosis produce a greater variation in offspring than mitosis?

Back

The daughter cells receive genetic material from both parent cells.

Front

Why do offspring that result from asexual reproduction have a lower chance of genetic variation?

Back

They are identical to their parent.

Front

In what way are sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction different?

Back

Asexual reproduction requires one parent cell and sexual reproduction requires two.

Front

A tall pea plant is crossed with a second tall pea plant, producing both tall and short pea plants. Which process would produce both tall and short pea plants?

Back

sexual reproduction

Front

Why is the offspring of a male gorilla similar, but not identical, to its father?

Back

The offspring receives DNA from a gamete contributed by the father and a second gamete from the mother. A new genetic combination is created when the gametes combine.

Front

Which organism reproduces by budding?

Back

yeast

Front

Which choice best describes the genetic makeup of offspring created through sexual reproduction?

Back

The offspring exhibit a variety of traits from both parents.

Front

An organism with 28 chromosomes undergoes cell division. The resulting cell contains 28 chromosomes. Which type of cell division occurred?

Back

mitosis

Front

How can all puppies in a litter be different if they have the same parents?

Back

The puppies have different genes because they received a combination of genes from both parents.
