Fusion Unit 2 Lesson 3 Sexual and Asexual Reproduction

In asexual reproduction, all of the offspring are:

• Physically Identical
• Genetically Identical
• Physically and Genetically Identical
• Not Identical

The diagram represents which type of reproduction?

• budding

• sporulation

• vegetative propagation

• binary fission

How many parent(s)are needed for asexual?

• 4

• 1

• 9

• 2

What are some of the facts about asexual reproduction?

• Takes only one parent to reproduce and takes a longer time to reproduce

• Takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce and it takes two parents to reproduce

• Reproduces diverse offspring and takes a longer time to reproduce

• Takes only one parent to reproduce and takes a shorter time to reproduce

Requires two parents

• sexual
• asexual

The offspring from asexually reproduced organisms are?

• Different than their parents

• Identical to parents

• Like a combination from both parents

• A different species

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

• identical to only one parent
• identical to all of its siblings
• a unique combination of traits
• the recessive traits of each parent

All of the offspring of an organism have the same genetic material, which is identical to the parent organism. From this, we can conclude that this organism -

• makes its own food
• is unicellular
• live in a marine habitat
• reproduces asexually

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

This is when a new organism grows by 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 potatoes.
