Unit 2 Lesson 3 - Asexual and Sexual Reproduction

An asexually reproducing organism usually has

• one parent and identical offpsring
• two parents and identical offspring
• one parent and varied offpsring
• two parents and varied offspring

The main purpose of mitosis is for

• growth only. 
• tissue repair only. 
• growth and tissue repair. 
• neither growth nor tissue repair

The process of mitotic cell division normally results in the production of

• four cells with half the chromosomes as parent cell
• two cells with the same number of chromosomes as parent cell
• one cell with a replicated set of chromosomes

Using the diagram, which type of asexual reproduction is being demonstrated by the bacterial cell?

• Budding
• Cleavage
• Regeneration
• Binary Fission

 This is when uniform offspring grow from a part of a parent plant. Parent plants sends out runners. Where the runner touches the ground, roots can grow. A new plant is produced even if the runner is broken apart Each new plant is uniform and identical to the parent.

• Vegetative propagation
• Regeneration
• Budding
• Fission

This is when a new organism grows by mitosis and 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 cactus
 

• Regeneration
• Vegetative propagation
• Fission
• Budding

 A white cat had a litter of kittens that were orange, grey, and black and white spotted. Is this the result of sexual or asexual reproduction? And how would you characterize the offspring listed above?

• Sexual reproduction with uniform offspring
• Asexual reproduction with diverse offspring
• Sexual reproduction with diverse offspring
• Asexual reproduction with uniform offspring
