Asexual and Sexual Reproduction Assessment

Which type of reproduction occurs when an offspring arises from a single parent. The offspring inherits the genes of only the one parent. The offspring is a genetically identical clone of the parent.

• Asexual Reproduction

• Sexual Reproduction

Which type of asexual reproduction occurs when a fully grown parent cell split into two halves, producing two new cells.

Example organisms include bacteria, amoebas, and euglenas.

• Budding

• Binary Fission

• Regeneration

Which type of asexual reproduction occurs when an new offspring bud grows out of the body of the parent.

An example organism example is a Hydra.

• Propogation

• Fragmentation

• Budding

Which type of asexual reproduction occurs when the body of the parent breaks into distinct pieces. Each piece can produce a new offspring. The tissue regrowth is due to regeneration. An example organism is a planarian worm.

• Binary Fission

• Fragmentation

• Tissue Splitting

Which type of asexual reproduction occurs when a piece of a parent is detached. It can grow and develop into a completely new offspring. Example organisms include sea stars and sea cucumbers.

• Regeneration

• Budding

• Cloning

Which of the following describes a POSITIVE ADVANTAGE for a single parent organism to go through asexual reproduction.

• Reproduction process tends to be very slow over time

• Single parent does not create many organisms over time

• Single parent does not have to seek out a mate

Which type of reproduction does the offspring arise from two parents. The male parent produces male sex cells or sperm. The female parent produces female sex cells or eggs.

• Asexual Reproduction

• Sexual Reproduction

Where are the Chromosomes found within a Eukaryotic cell? They are thread-like molecules that carry hereditary information.

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Golgi Bodies

Which type of genetic material found within the chromosomes contains the instructions an organism needs to develop, live, and reproduce? It takes on a double helix shape.

• DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)

• Genes

• Base Pairs

Which type of genetic material are the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. They are made up of DNA. Each organism has 2 copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. One gene comes from the male parent and one gene comes from the female parent

• Chromosome

• Acids and Bases

• Gene
