All of the offspring of an organism have the same genetic material, which is identical to the parent organism. From this, we can conclude that this organism -

• makes its own food
• is unicellular
• live in a marine habitat
• reproduces asexually

What is an advantage of sexual reproduction?

• Allows genetic variation
• Only needs one parent
• Happens very quickly
• Offspring are exact copies of parent

What is one disadvantage of sexual reproduction?

The offspring from asexually reproduced organisms are?

• Different than their parents
• Identical to parents
• Like a combination from both parents
• A different species

If two organisms reproduce sexually, then their offspring will exhibit a genetic makeup that is -

• identical to only one parent
• identical to all of its siblings
• a unique combination of traits
• the recessive traits of each parent
