Asexual vs Sexual Reproduction

By Jordan Yager

Multiple Choice

Type of reproduction that makes an identical copy of a parent cell

• sexual reproduction

• asexual reproduction

• internal fertilization

• external fertilization

Multiple Choice

When an organism splits into an exact copy

• fertilization

• binary fission

• regeneration

• budding

Multiple Choice

All Offspring of Asexual reproduction are identical

• True
• False

Multiple Choice

How many parent(s)are needed for asexual?

• 4
• 1
• 9
• 100

Multiple Choice

Which process is considered to be faster? 

• Asexual
• Sexual 

Multiple Choice

Sexual reproduction results in

• Genetically unique offspring

• Genetically identical offspring

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

Hydra uses budding

• Sexual
• Asexual
• Both
• Neither

Multiple Choice

Which is a type of Asexual Reproduction

• Sexual

• Binary fission

• Cells

• organism

Multiple Choice

Which type of asexual reproduction is taking place?

A planarian is a non-parasitic flatworm. If a planarian was injured by a predator, it could re-grow its body parts. If the body parts were not eaten by the predator, the part could re-grow into a whole new planarian as well.

• Budding

• Fission

• Vegetative propagation

• Regeneration/Fragmentation

Multiple Choice

If two organisms reproduce sexually, then their offspring will exhibit a genetic makeup that is -

• identical to only one parent
• identical to all of its siblings
• a unique combination of traits
• the recessive traits of each parent

Multiple Choice

What is one advantage of sexual reproduction?

• One parent

• Greater genetic diversity

• Faster

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 Choice

When a starfish grows a new body off a broken arm, what kind of reproduction is this?

• Sexual
• Differentiation
• Asexual 
• Specialization

Multiple Choice

This is when a new organism grows by cell division on the body of its parent. The bud, or offspring is identical to the parent. The bud, when large enough, can break off of the parent and live on its own.  Examples of this include yeast, hydra and potatoes.
 

• Regeneration
• Vegetative propagation
• Fission
• Budding
