Sexual reproduction requires...

• 1 parent

• 2 parents

• None

Asexual reproduction requires...

• 1 parent

• 2 parents

• None

Advantages of asexual reproduction are...

• Variation in offspring

• Costs less energy/resources to find a mate & raise offspring

• Allows for natural selection and selective breeding

• Often the organism is more complex

"One parent can create a whole population" is an advantage of asexual reproduction

• True

• False

"Natural Selection cannot happen as easily" is an advantage of asexual reproduction

• True

• False

If there is a mutation, the rest of the future offspring will be passed it. This is _______ reproduction

There are ____ chromosomes in a human. Each parent gives ____ chromosomes to the offspring.

• 32,36

• 32,46

• 23,46

• 76,30

Binary Fission is____

• More complex organisms, so there is more room for differences and similarities

• Creating a colony. You can have a one parent who can create a whole population

• Cell division that happens in prokaryotes; Starts with one cell, genetic material doubles, cell splits/copies

Meiosis steps:

• Shares bacteria

• The genetic material duplicates in one cell

• The cell splits into 2

• Then splits again WITHOUT splitting the genes
