Interim 4 review

The diagram below represents a form of cellular reproduction.

As a result of this process, offspring 1 and offspring 2 will have

• the same number of genes but different traits

• a different number of genes but the same traits

• the same number of genes and the same traits

• a different number of genes and different traits

The paramecium is a single-celled organism that reproduces asexually. The offspring of a paramecium usually contain

• only half of the genes of the parent cells

• more DNA than the parent cell

• genetic material identical to that of the parent cell

• fewer mutations than the parent cell

The process of embryonic development is represented in the diagram below.

The three arrows in the diagram each represent a process known as

• mitotic cell division

• meiotic cell division

• fertilization of gamete cells

• differentiation of tissues

The following events occur during sexual reproduction:

A. mitosis

B. meiosis

C. fertilization

D. birth

Which sequence represents the correct order of these events during sexual reproduction?

• A -> C -> B -> D

• B -> C -> A -> D

• C -> B -> A -> D

• B -> A -> C -> D

The diagram below represents some stages in the process of development .

Stage 2 represents a cell that

• contains half the genetic material of an adult cell

• shows clear evidence of tissue differentiation

• has the complete genetic information to form an adult

• is genetically identical to one of the parents that produced it

The development of organs and tissues from a zygote includes

• mitosis and differentiation

• mitosis and gamete production

• meiosis and gamete production

• meiosis and fertilization

A human cell that contains all of the information necessary for the growth and development of a complete organism is

• a sperm cell

• a gamete

• a zygote

• an egg cell

After a zygote is formed, specialization of cells occurs. Through which process do the cells of a zygote become specialized?

• sexual reproduction

• meiosis

• fertilization

• differentiation

To clone a mammal, a cloned embryo is often put into an adult female of the same species to continue internal development. The structure in which the embryo will develop is the

• ovary

• placenta

• uterus

• egg

The diagram below represents one stage during the human reproductive process.

A function of structure A is to

• remove nutrients from the fetus

• provide the fetus with metabolic wastes

• remove all toxins from the blood of the mother

• provide for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
