Multiple Choice

What are some of the facts about asexual reproduction?

• Takes only one mate to reproduce and takes a longer time to reproduce
• Takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce and it takes two mates to reproduce
• Reproduces diverse offspring and takes a longer time to reproduce
• Takes only one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter time to reproduce

Multiple Choice

If an organism reproduces asexually, its offspring will most likely be:

• produced as a result of fertilization
• Genetically identical to the parent
• Genetically different from each other
• Produced from specialized cells known as gametes

Multiple Choice

What is one disadvantage of sexual reproduction?

• Only one parent needed
• Off spring are exact copies of parents
• Happens very quickly
• Needs two parents

Multiple Select

Some advantages of sexual reproduction include: (select all that apply)

• genetic variation

• improves chances of adapting to the environment

• helps species survive catastrophes

• it doesn't take as much energy as asexual reproduction

Multiple Select

What are some disadvantages to sexual reproduction? (select all that apply)

• it takes a lot of energy to find a mate

• you don't need another mate

• it requires a male and a female

• more genetic errors can occur

Multiple Choice

Genetically identical offspring are _____________ the parent organism.

• opposite of

• clones of

• superior to

• inferior to

Multiple Select

What are some advantages of asexual reproduction are: (select all that apply)

• it only requires one organism

• it takes less energy than sexual reproduction

• offspring are already well-adapted for the environment

• there is a lot of genetic variety
