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

• identical genes from the parent organism

• a copy of the genetic material of the mother ONLY

• a copy of the genetic material of the father ONLY

• genes from both parents, in unique combinations

Classify the following as asexual or sexual reproduction: (if asexual give the type)

For bacteria the cell must duplicate in size and then split in two. All of the offspring of an organism have the same genetic material.

• budding, asexual

• fragmentation, asexual

• parthenogenesis, asexual

• binary fission, asexual

Classify the following as asexual or sexual reproduction: (if asexual give the type)

A method in which a new organism develops without fertilization. Here, males do not have any role to play and only female gametes develop into new offspring. This occurs in organisms such as honey bees, ants, birds, snails and some lizards

• fertilization, sexual reproduction

• parthenogenesis, asexual

• parenthogenesis, sexual

• binary fission, asexual

Classify the following as asexual or sexual reproduction: (if asexual give the type)

The process by which plant pollen is transferred from the male reproductive organs to the female reproductive organs to form seeds. In flowering plants, pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma, often by the wind or by insects.

• fertilization, sexual reproduction

• parthenogenesis, asexual

• parenthogenesis, sexual

• binary fission, asexual
