• Bright oranges that are all about the same size

• An insect that matches the color of the environment

• A dog that has been bred to have short hair

Multiple Select

When selective breeding food crops what might a farmer select for?

• The plant the produced the most grain

• The plant the produced the largest sized grain

• The plant that was the most disease resistant

• The plant that was the smallest

• The smelliest plant

Multiple Choice

Selective breeding is...

• a process to create an organism with desired traits from parents with those desired traits

• natural method of producing offspring with desired traits

• creating a new species

• making organisms reproduce during times of stress

Multiple Choice

An example of selective breeding is

• a dog breeder mating 2 dogs to make more dogs

• a farmer grows bees to pollinate the plants on his farm

• a person pollinates 2 white rose plants to only create white roses

Multiple Choice

What is the male part of the flower used during reproduction?

• Pistil
• Stigma
• Stamen
• Pollination

Multiple Choice

What is the female part of the flower used during reproduction?

• Pistil
• Petal
• Stigma
• Stamen

Multiple Choice

What is the sticky part at the top of the flower used for?

• Holding seeds
• Collecting pollen
• Supporting the stigma
• Connecting petals

Multiple Choice

What are the white parts of the flower below?

• Pistil
• Petals
• Stamen
• Stigma

Multiple Choice

___________________ is the transfer of pollen grain from the anther to the stigma within one flower or between flowers of the same kind.

• Reproduction

• Pollination

• Flowering

• Germination

Multiple Choice

Transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on the same plant.

• Cross pollination

• Self pollination

Multiple Choice

The transfer of pollen from one flower to the stigma of a flower on another plant

• Cross pollination

• Self pollination

Multiple Choice

Birds, humans and other small animals are the main agents of pollination.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

Why did Mendel use cross pollination in his experiments?

• to speed up self pollination

• to control which plants pollinated other plants

• to make sure dominant factors were always produced

• to make sure recessive factors were always produced

• There weren't any bees

Multiple Choice

• heredity

• self pollination

Multiple Choice

Offspring from parents with different forms of the same trait

• recessive

• hybrid

• heredity

• true breeding

Multiple Choice

• all white flower plants

• all purple flower plants

• mostly purple flower plants

• no purple flower plants

• pink flower plants

Multiple Choice
