Unit 5 Task 1.2 Reproduction Basics

What is the process where an organism produces new organisms of the same species (offspring)

• Asexual Reproduction

• Sexual Reproduction

• Reproduction

• Production

What is the process by which a single parent reproduces by itself

• Asexual Reproduction

• Sexual Reproduction

• Reproduction

• Production

What is the process where two parents (male and female) combine their genetic material to produce a new organism, which differs from both parents

• Asexual Reproduction

• Sexual Reproduction

• Reproduction

• Production

Which are correct reasons that confirm the importance of reproduction

• To ensure survival

• To create survival instincts

• To inform genetically

• To pass on genetic information

What do we call the product of reproduction

• The future

• Offspring

• A variant organism

• Mrs. Gren

Name two main kinds of reproduction

• Sexual and Bisexual

• Non-sexual and asexual

• Sexual and asexual

• Fragmentation and binary fission

Which process is considered to be faster? 

• Asexual
• Sexual 

In asexual reproduction, all of the offspring are:

• Physically Identical
• Genetically Identical
• The same age
• Not Identical

What is one disadvantage for asexual reproduction?

• Happens very quickly
• Only needs one parent
• Lack of genetic diversity
• All offspring are exact copies of parent

What is an advantage of sexual reproduction?

• Higher chance of adapting or evolving over time to keep up with environmental changes

• Only needs one parent - no extra time used on looking for a mate

• Happens very quickly and easily  - energy efficient

• Produces many offspring
