Offspring are genetically identical to the one parent. Is this the result of sexual or asexual reproduction? And how would you characterize the offspring listed above?

Asexual reproduction with uniform offspring

Sexual reproduction with diverse offspring

Asexual reproduction with diverse offspring

Sexual reproduction with uniform offspring

Why is genetically identical information a disadvantage to asexual reproduction?

The organism is not able to adapt to its environment

Parent cells and daughter cells do not get along because they are just alike

It is confusing to determine which organism is the parent and which is the daughter because they are identical

The organism cannot grow any larger because its parents were small too

Which of the following is/are advantages of asexual reproduction?

It allows the organisms to crowd out the other organisms that reproduce more slowly. As we have seen, bacteria can reproduce very rapidly in a short time!

Asexual reproduction allows the organism to better fight off diseases, unlike organisms that reproduce sexually. Asexual reproduction allows for greater diversity, in turn, asexual reproducers have a greater life expectancy.

Most asexual reproductive organisms live in ideal conditions, which allows them to reproduce rapidly.

If two organisms reproduce sexually, then their offspring will exhibit a genetic makeup that is -

identical to all of its siblings

the recessive traits of each parent

Asexual reproduction like mitosis produces

Two offspring cells with the same genetic material as the parent cell.

Two offspring cells with half genetic material as the parent cell.

Four offspring cells with the same genetic material as the parent cell.

Four offspring cells with half the genetic material as the parent cell.

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 diverse offspring

Sexual reproduction with uniform offspring

Asexual reproduction with diverse offspring

Asexual reproduction with uniform offspring

Why is DNA important?

it serves as the blueprint for traits of all living things

it is very small and very complicated

because we eat it every day for energy

Which of the following is true about human chromosomes?

Body cells have 46 and sex cells have 23.

Body cells have 23 and sex cells have 46.

Body cells have 48 and sex cells have 24.

Body cells have 47 and sex cells have 23.

Select all that apply: What are the characteristics of ALL living things?

Maintain a stable internal environment

What is an advantage of sexual reproduction?

Offspring are exact copies of parent

What is NOT a characteristic of sexual reproduction?

Offspring are genetically identical with the parent.

Gametes from two parents unite to form a zygote.

Offspring are different from their parents and sibling.

Genetic variability of offspring help to ensure survival in changing environmental conditions.

if a cell has 24 chromosomes at the beginning of meiosis how many chromosomes will it have at the end of meiosis?

the number varies with the species.
