Quiz about Life Science Review: Reproduction

Question 1

Which statement correctly gives a difference about the exchange of genetic material in sexual and asexual reproduction?

Accepted Answer

Genetic material is passed down from 2 parents in sexual reproduction and just 1 parent in asexual reproduction.

Answer

Genetic material is passed down from just 1 parent in sexual reproduction and from 2 parents in asexual reproduction.

Answer

Genetic variation is more likely in asexual reproduction than in sexual reproduction.

Answer

For both types of reproduction, the genetic material in the offspring is identical to the parents.
