The New Mexico whiptail lizard can reproduce both sexually and asexually. The most reliable way to determine that a group of offspring of New Mexico whiptail lizards was produced through asexual reproduction would be to look at which of the following characteristics?

• Physical appearance
• Habitat location
• Behavior patterns
• Genetic variation

The offspring of an organism produced through asexual reproduction is always–

• genetically identical to its parent
• created by vegetative propagation
• made of cells with a cell wall
• different from its siblings

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

All of the offspring of an organism have the same genetic material, which is identical to the parent organism. From this, we can conclude that this organism -

• makes its own food
• is unicellular
• live in a marine habitat
• reproduces asexually

Compared to the offspring produced by sexual reproduction, the offspring produced by asexual reproduction will be -

• less vulnerable to prey
• larger in size
• better adapted to their habitat
• more genetically uniform
