Genetics

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 overall
• show more variation

Which is a type of Asexual Reproduction

• Sexual 
• Binary fission
• Cells 
• organism

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

• Sporulation
• Budding
• Vegetative Propagation

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
