Reproduction

Which of the following is a characteristic of a  disadvantage of Sexual Reproduction?

• diverse offspring
• identical to parent
• time and energy 
• adaptability 

What is a characteristic of sexual reproduction?

• diverse offspring
• identical offspring
• faster than asexual reproduction
• requires no energy

What is an advantage of sexual reproduction?

• smaller populations
• cannot adapt easily
• adapts easily to new environments
• requires no energy

All of the offspring of an organism have the same genetic material, which is identical to the parent organism?

• makes its own food
• goes away
• live in a marine habitat
• reproduces asexually

Which of the following is a disadvantage for sexual reproduction?

• a lot of time and energy is required for making gametes and finding mates
• offspring can be produced more quickly than by asexual means
• the genetic diversity makes organisms respond differently to environmental changes
• the offspring are genetically different

Compare & Contrast
 Sexual VS Asexual

• both only require one parent
• sexual creates diverse offspring, and asexual makes uniform
• sexual reproduction have larger populations
• both require no special cells

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

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

In sexual reproduction the male produces ___ cells.

• Malex
• Quack
• Egg
• Sperm

In sexual reproduction the female produces ___ cells.

• Femalex
• Quack
• Egg
• Sperm
