Sexual and Asexual Reproduction

The Appalachian shoestring fern reproduces asexually. What can be concluded about the offspring from this fern? The genetic material of the offspring of the Appalachian fern-

• is different for each individual offspring

• varies greatly from one generation to the next

• could never be predicted with any reliability

• is identical to that of the parent plant.

If an offspring is produced through sexual reproduction, the offspring's genetic material is always-

• a copy of the genetic material of one parent

• identical to the genetic material of its siblings

• completely unrelated to that of its parents

• a blend of the genetic material of its parents

In order to predict whether an organisms would produce offspring that are diverse or uniform, it would be most helpful to know which of the following about the organism?

• Does it diet consists of many different foods?

• Does it reproduce sexually and asexually?

• What is the approximate mass of an adult?

• What is the climate like in its habitat?

When an organism reproduces by budding, how does the new organism start growing?

• from with the parent organism

• from the merging of two parent organisms

• from a spore produced by a parent organism

• from the outer surface of the parent organism
