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

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

Prokaryotes (bacteria) reproduce asexually via -

• spore formation
• bud creation
• vegetative propagation
• binary fission

Provided is a table of organisms and some data on their characteristics. Based on the information in the table, which organism is likely to produce offspring with the greatest genetic diversity?

• Black mold
• Bell tree dahlia
• Spruce
• Hydra

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
• live in a marine habitat
• reproduces asexually

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

The genetic material of an offspring of sexually reproducing organisms is best described as–

• identical to that of the other offspring
• a copy of the genetic material of the mother
• a copy of the genetic material of the father
• genes from both parents, in unique combinations

This is when a new organism grows by cell division on the body of its parent. The bud, or offspring is identical to the parent. The bud, when large enough, can break off of the parent and live on its own.  Examples of this include yeast, hydra and potatoes.
 

• Regeneration
• Vegetative propagation
• Fission
• Budding

The male typically deposits a spermatophore on the ground or in the water and the female picks this up.  The female salamander then lays its eggs on a stick or rock near water or on land.   There are several different species of salamanders with different colorful patterns.
Which type of reproduction is taking place?

• Asexual reproduction with uniform offspring
• Sexual reproduction with diverse offspring
• Asexual reproduction with diverse offspring
• Sexual reproduction with uniform offspring
