Asexual Reproduction

In asexual reproduction, all of the offspring are:

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

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:

• Binary Fission
• Sporulation
• Budding
• Vegetative Propagation

What type of asexual reproduction is taking place?
Fishermen work hard to catch and remove all the starfish that get into their favorite shell fishing beds and the “underwater farms” where they raise clams and oysters. In the past, they put the starfish into their boats, cut them up with knives, and then throw the pieces of starfish overboard. They thought this would kill the starfish. What they did not know was that each piece of starfish will grow into a whole new animal.

• Regeneration
• Vegetative propagation
• Budding
• Fission

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

Cell division in prokaryotes that produces 2 genetically identical cells

• vegetative reproduction

• fission

• budding

• cloning

When an offspring grows off a piece of its parent

• cloning

• regeneration

• fission

• cloning

When offspring grow off part of a parent plant

• regeneration

• fission

• vegetative reproduction

• fission

This type of asexual reproduction can only happen in a laboratory and produces identical cells

• regeneration

• cloning

• vegetative reproduction

• fission

Which of these is NOT an advantage of asexual reproduction?

• Reproduction can occur without a mate

• It can occur rapidly

• It creates more diverse organisms
