The traits that are being passed is dependent on the type of reproduction. In sexual reproduction the offspring...

• will have all of the same traits as the mom

• will have a mix of both mom and dad's traits

• will show more of the recessive traits

• will have more genetic diversity

• will show dominant traits or characteristics from a parent

In asexual reproduction all of the offspring...

• have the same genes of the parent

• have a mix of both parents

• show the more dominant traits given from a parent

• have no genetic diversity

Which one best defines "chromosome?"

• found on your DNA and are the basic unit of heredity

• carry heredity information (DNA) and usually come as a pair

• they control the cell and hold all of the cell's DNA

• they are the passing on of physical characteristics (traits) from on generation to another

Which of the following does not describe "trait?"

• a specific characteristic that you show because of your genes

• DNA

• hair color

• eye color

An acquired trait is...

• inside every cell located on DNA

• what you get passed down from your parents

• something you are born with; you can't learn it

• something that you learn; not born with it

The hydra is a very small, simple animal that lives in water. Hydra's reproduce asexually by budding, a process in which a bud breaks off an adult hydra and floats away. Which of the following best describes the hydra bud?

• A hydra bud contains genetic material from its two parents.

• A hydra bud is genetically identical to the parent hydra.

• A hydra bud has different mutations than the parent hydra.

• A hydra bud has half as much genetic material as the parent hydra.

Certain species of whiptail lizards have only female individuals and no males. These lizards reproduce asexually. What is one disadvantage of asexual reproduction for these lizards?

• all the members of a population are genetically very similar and less able to survive environmental changes

• they are smaller than lizards that reproduce sexually

• they are more likely to develop a variety of tail lengths
