Reproduction Part 1

How many parents does asexual reproduction involve?

• one 
• two
• three
• four

The offspring from asexually reproduced organisms are?

• Different than their parents
• Identical to parents
• Like a combination from both parents
• A different species

When comparing the offspring of sexually and asexually reproducing organisms, we would expect the genetic material (DNA) of the sexually reproducing organism to -

• contain fewer mutations
• be lesser in quantity
• be simpler overall
• show more variation

A type of reproduction in which the genetic materials from two different cells combine, producing an offspring 

• Asexual Reproduction
• Sexual Reproduction

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

What are some of the facts about sexual reproduction?

• Takes two mates to reproduce and takes a longer time to reproduce
• Takes one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce
• Takes two mates to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce
• Takes one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce

What is an advantage of sexual reproduction?

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

What is one disadvantage of sexual reproduction?

• Only one parent needed
• Off spring are exact copies of parents
• Happens very quickly
• Needs two parents

In asexual reproduction, all of the offspring are:

• Physically Identical
• Genetically Identical
• Physically and Genetically Identical
• Not Identical

If an environment suddenly changes, which type of reproduction would be most beneficial? Why?

• Asexual, because asexual organisms always have variation within species.
• Sexual, because sexual organisms have variation within species.
• Both Asexual and Sexual reproduction would be beneficial, because they both have variation within species.
• Asexual, because asexual organisms have no variation, so they can adapt to a changing environment.
