Types of Reproduction

A lion cub resembles its parents because it inherits (receives)....

• a mixture of genetic material from both parents

• two exact copies of genetic material from both parents

• genetic material found in only one of the parents

A paramecium (para-me-see-um) is a single-celled organism that reproduces asexually. The offspring of a paramecium usually contain

• only half of the genetic material of the parent cells

• more DNA than the parent cell

• genetic material identical to that of the parent cell

The diagram below represents events that occur during Sexual Reproduction. The stages labeled A, B, and C are necessary to ensure that the offspring will inherit

• half of their genetic material from each parent

• double the amount of genetic material from each parent

• double the amount of chromosomes from one parent

Female hammerhead sharks sometimes produce offspring by a type of Asexual Reproduction. These offspring

• are a result of the uniting of a male and a female sex cell

• receive genetic information from only the female shark parent

• are considered to be a different species from the male parent

• receive genetic information from both parents

The picture shows the reproduction of an organism called a Planaria. Planeria can regenerate themselves even after they are injured. The planaria is being cut into 3 pieces and creating 3 new offspring. What type of reproduction is shown?

• Sexual Reproduction

• Asexual Reproduction

• Both Sexual and Asexual Reproduction

What is an advantage of Asexual Reproduction?

• Asexual reproduction is a slower type of reproduction

• Asexual reproduction can save energy and happen faster

• Asexual reproduction increases the risk of extinction

Many tiny plants can be seen developing Asexually along the edge of the "mother-of-thousands" plant leaf. The tiny plants eventually drop and grow into new plants of the same species. One way asexual reproduction differs from sexual reproduction is....

• more genetic variety is seen in the offspring in asexual reproduction

• the offspring and the parents are genetically identical in asexual reproduction

• the new plants have the combined genetic material of both parents in asexual reproduction
