Genetics Review - Academic

In asexual reproduction, all of the offspring are:

• Genetically Unique
• Genetically Identical
• Physically and Genetically Identical
• Not Identical

A hydra reproduces when an outgrowth, or bud, forms and continues to develop until it falls off of the parent. This is an example of:

• Binary Fission
• Sporulation
• Budding
• Vegetative Propagation

How many parent(s) are needed for asexual reproduction?

• 4
• 1
• 2
• 10

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

This produces 2 identical cells.

• mitosis
• meiosis

What parts of the chromosome codes for traits?

• Genes
• Deoxyribonucleic Acid
• Chromosomes
• Nucleus

What does heredity mean?

• DNA being passed down from one generation to the next.
• Passing down acquired characteristics to your offspring.
• Leaving money in a will to your children
• All DNA is kept in the nucleus

When comparing the offspring of sexually and asexually reproducing organisms, we would expect the genetic material (DNA) of the sexually reproducing organism to -

• contain fewer mutations
• be lesser in quantity
• be simpler
• show more variation

What are some of the facts about sexual reproduction?

• Takes two mates to reproduce and takes a longer time to reproduce
• Takes one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce
• Takes two mates to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce
• Takes one mate to reproduce and takes a longer amount of time to reproduce
