During asexual reproduction in a certain organism, a new organism begins to form on the adult's body. Eventually, when the new organism is large enough, it breaks off from the adult and lives separately. This type of reproduction is known as

• parthenogenesis.

• binary fission.

• budding.

• regeneration/fragmentation.

Which of the following is an example of binary fission?

• An unfertilized egg develops into a worker or drone in a bee hive.

• A starfish is cut into two pieces. Each piece forms into a whole starfish.

• A seed from an apple germinates.

• A bacterial cell undergoes mitosis(cell divides)

What type of reproduction is happening in this hydra?

• binary fission

• parthenogenesis

• fragmentation/regeneration

• vegetative propagation

Which of the following is a disadvantage of asexual reproduction?

• the length of time required for offspring to reach maturity

• the amount of energy required

• the lack of genetic variation

• the amount of time required to produce offspring

All Offspring of Asexual reproduction are identical

• True
• False

How many parent(s)are needed for asexual?

• 4
• 1
• 9
• 100

If the environment changes for an Asexual offspring it will?

• Explode

• Create another offspring

• Fall in love

• Die because not enough genetic variation to adapt.

Which process is considered to be faster? 

• Asexual
• Sexual 

How are genetic traits passed down from generation to generation?

• Chromosomes
• Reproduction
• DNA
• Genes
