Sexual Ans Asexual Reproduction

How many parent(s) are needed for asexual reproduction?

• 4
• 1
• 9
• 100

Which process is considered to be faster? 

• Asexual
• Sexual 

Baker’s yeast is a tiny, single-celled fungus that makes bread dough rise and converts sugars in alcohol. This yeast reproduces by budding. As the small bud grows, it receives a copy of the parent’s nucleus. When the bud pinches off, the new cell is smaller than the parent cell but genetically identical  What type of reproduction is this?

• Asexual
• Sexual

Redwood trees are the tallest and largest trees in the world. Like other conifer trees, the trees bear male and female cones that rely on the wind for pollination. What kind of reproduction is this?

• Asexual
• Sexual

What are some of the facts about asexual reproduction?

• Takes only one mate to reproduce and takes a longer time to reproduce
• Takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce and it takes two mates to reproduce
• Reproduces diverse offspring and takes a longer time to reproduce
• Takes only one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter time to reproduce

The offspring from asexually reproduced organisms are?

• Different than their parents
• Genetically identical to parent
• Like a combination from both parents
• A different species

Which type(s) of reproduction involves NO genetic diversity?

• asexual
• sexual
• both
• neither

If two organisms reproduce sexually, then their offspring will exhibit a genetic makeup that is -

• identical to only one parent
• identical to all of its siblings
• a unique combination of traits
• the recessive traits of each parent

All of the offspring of an organism have the same genetic material, which is identical to the parent organism. From this, we can conclude that this organism -

• makes its own food
• is unicellular
• is likely to be a plant
• reproduces asexually

___________________ is a type of asexual reproduction in which a piece of a parent organism breaks off to form an new organism (ex. starfish).

• fission

• budding

• fragmentation

• fertiliztion
