• Binary fission, budding, spore formation

• Fertilization, vegetative reproduction, binary fission

• Spore formation, fertilization, vegetative reproduction

Which type of reproduction involves two parents and results in offspring that are not genetically identical to either parent?

• Binary fission

• Spore formation

• Sexual reproduction

• Vegetative reproduction

Which of these statements correctly describes one way that asexual and sexual reproduction are different?

• Asexual reproduction increases genetic diversity, but sexual reproduction does not.

• Asexual reproduction involves one parent, and sexual reproduction involves two parents.

• Asexual reproduction increases a species' chances of surviving unfavorable conditions, but sexual reproduction does not.

• The offspring produced by asexual reproduction are not identical to each other, but those of sexual reproduction are identical to each other.

Which of these statements is true for organisms that reproduce asexually?

• Compared to organisms that reproduce sexually, organisms that reproduce asexually are more likely to expend energy to find a mate.

• Compared to organisms that reproduce sexually, organisms that reproduce asexually are less likely to expend energy caring for their offspring.

• Compared to organisms that reproduce sexually, organisms that reproduce asexually are less likely to require only one parent for reproduction to take place.

• Compared to organisms that reproduce sexually, organisms that reproduce asexually are more likely to have offspring genetically different from themselves.

Tulips can produce seeds by both asexual and sexual reproduction. How does this benefit the tulip? Select all that apply.

• The sexually produced plants provide genetic diversity to the population

• The asexually produced plants ensure that favorable traits are passed to the offspring.

• The sexually produced plants do not compete with the asexually produced plants.

• The asexually produced plants can rapidly colonize an area.
