Genetics

The type of reproduction in which the genetic material from two different cells combine

• budding
• chromosomes
• diploid
• sexual reproduction

A male shark has 40 chromosomes in each of its sex cells. How many would be present in its body cells?

• 20
• 40
• 80
• 160

What do you call the type of reproduction in which the genetic materials from two different cells combine, producing an offspring?

• pollination

• sexual reproduction

• fertilization

• asexual reproduction

Which of the following is an advantage of sexual reproduction?

• Genetic variation

• Down syndrome

• Mutation

• New trait formed

What type of reproduction takes place when one parent organism produces offspring without meiosis and fertilization?

• pollination

• sexual reproduction

• asexual reproduction

• fertilization

What is an advantage of sexual reproduction?

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

A process where one cell forms two identical daughter cells is called...

• cell cycle
• cell division (mitosis)
• interphase
• cytokinesis

Name the process in the diagram. 

• Meiosis 
• Mitosis 
• Endocytosis 
• Phagocytosis 

How are sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction different from each other? 

• Sexual reproduction requires two parents and asexual reproduction requires only one parent.
• Asexual reproduction requires two parents and sexual reproduction requires only one parent.
• Mutation rates are lower in sexual reproduction than in asexual reproduction 
• Asexual reproduction occurs only in multicellular organisms 

Which of the following best describes cancer?

• absence of cyclins in the DNA
• Multiple gene mutations on a chromosome of DNA
• Uncontrolled cell growth caused by mutations in genes that control the cell cycle.
• Presence of genetic defects caused by hereditary disorders.
