Unit X Lesson 3 Quiz

Which of these animals can reproduce by budding?

• hydra

• dolphin

• manta ray

• salamander

Which of these lists includes three types of asexual reproduction?

• budding, spore formation, fertilization

• binary fission, budding, spore formation

• fertilization, vegetative reproduction, binary fission

• spore formation, fertilization, vegetative reproduction

Jeb drew a diagram representing cells undergoing sexual reproduction.

Which statement describes the genetic information in the diagram?

• Cell A is genetically identical to cell C.

• Cell B contains the same genetic material as cell C.

• Cell C has genes from cell A and genes from cell B.

• Cells A and C contributed genetic material to cell B.

Which of these describes a zygote?

• a structure or organ within an organism that produces gametes

• a specialized cell that contains half the number of chromosomes found in other cells of an organism

• a spore-like cell that is produced during asexual reproduction and that can grow into a new organism

• a cell that forms as the result of fertilization and has the same number of chromosomes as the parent cells

Which type of reproduction involves two parents and results in offspring that are not genetically identical to either parent?

• budding

• binary fission

• spore formation

• sexual reproduction

Organisms can reproduce sexually or asexually. There are important differences between the two modes of reproduction.

Which statement correctly describes one way that asexual and sexual reproduction are different?

• Asexual reproduction increases genetic diversity, but sexual reproduction does not.

• Asexual reproduction involves one parent, and sexual reproduction involves two parents.

• Asexual reproduction increases a species' chances of surviving unfavorable conditions, but sexual reproduction does not.

• The offspring produced by asexual reproduction are not identical to each other, but those of sexual reproduction are identical to each other.

Organisms can reproduce sexually or asexually. There are important differences between the two modes of reproduction.

Which statement is true for organisms that reproduce asexually when compared with organisms that reproduce sexually?

• They are more likely to expend energy to find a mate.

• They are less likely to expend energy caring for their offspring.

• They are less likely to require only one parent for reproduction to take place.

• They are more likely to have offspring that are genetically different from themselves.
