Asexual and Sexual Reproduction Review

Multiple Choice

Cell division in prokaryotes that forms two genetically identical cells:

• fission

• cloning

• budding

• vegetative regeneration

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is not a benefit of asexual reproduction?

• Offspring will be successful in an unchanged environment.

• Only requires one parent to produce offspring.

• Good at adapting to changing environments.

• Can reproduce rapidly.

Multiple Choice

An organism that has been reproduced by asexual means receives ______________ of its chromosomes from its one parent.

• 3%

• 25%

• 50%

• 100%

Multiple Choice

In asexual reproduction, all of the offspring are:

• Physically Identical

• Physically and Genetically Identical

• Genetically Identical

• Not Identical

Multiple Choice

During mitosis the parent cell produces:

• 2 daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

• 4 daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

• 2 daughter cells with the half the number of chromosomes as the parents cell.

• 4 daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Multiple Choice

An organism that has been reproduced by sexual reproduction received ____________ of its chromosomes from the male parent.

• 4%

• 50%

• 25%

• 100%

Multiple Choice

During meiosis the parent cell produces:

• 2 daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

• 4 daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

• 2 daughter cells with the half the number of chromosomes as the parents cell.

• 4 daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Multiple Select

Meiosis produces sex cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Select all that are examples of sex cells.

• Sperm Cell

• Egg Cell

• Somatic Cell

• Skin Cell

• Pollen

Multiple Choice

A gardener crosses two plants and observes that the offspring appear different from the parents. The diagram shows the plants.

Which statement supports this observation?

• The plants reproduce asexually, and the offspring receive all their genes from a single parent

• The plants reproduce sexually, and the offspring receive a unique combination of genes from both parents.

• The plants reproduce asexually, and the offspring develop new genes with age

• The plants reproduce sexually, and the offspring exchange genes with each other.

Multiple Choice

What is the big advantage of sexual reproduction?

• Can quickly grow the population

• Only one parent is required to reproduce.

• Offspring are guaranteed to be successful in an unchanged environment.

• Can adapt to changing environments

Multiple Select

Which three are advantages of asexual reproduction?

• The population can increase from only one parent

• Energy is not required to find a mate.

• The population can increase quickly.

• Offspring are more likely to survive environmental changes.

• Some offspring are more likely to survive a disease.

Multiple Choice

Plants can reproduce sexually and asexually. If one offspring is produced sexually while the other is produced asexually, what will only the sexually produced offspring have?

• beneficial genetic traits

• a complete set of traits

• both inherited and acquired traits

• a new combination of traits

Multiple Choice

Which characteristics did the student list correctly?

• 2 and 3

• 2 and 4

• 1 and 2

• 1 and 4
