Multiple Choice

What is a disadvantage of sexual reproduction?

• Requires more energy to find a mate

• there is no genetic diversity in the offspring

• requires one parent

Multiple Choice

Which advantage is most related to asexual reproduction?

• produces many offspring quickly

• increases genetic diversity

• sometimes both parents help to raise the offspring

• the health of the population increases overtime because of genetic variation

Multiple Choice

Which disadvantage is most related to asexual reproduction

• requires more energy

• produces less offspring

• there is no genetic diversity

Multiple Choice

Which of these is true of sexual reproduction

• offspring are genetically identical to each other

• slower and more energy required to find a mate and exchange genetic material

• offspring are genetically identical to their parent cell

• fast; not a lot of energy required

Multiple Choice
