Unit 4: Reproduction & Inheritance Test Review

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 

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

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 shorter amount of time to reproduce

What is an advantage of sexual reproduction?

• Allows genetic variation
• Only needs one parent
• Happens very quickly
• Offspring are exact copies of parent

Why are favorable traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?

• Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce.
• Because they look cooler.
• Because they come from recessive alleles.
• Because the trait is an acquired phenotype.

An adaptation is:

• a characteristic that helps a population of species survive and reproduce
• a characteristic of one male that allows him to become the dominant animal of the herd 
• When one organism lives longer than any other organism  in its population 
• a change that occurs quickly within a species
