Heredity and Genetics

How many parent(s) are needed for asexual reproduction?

• 4
• 1
• 9
• 100

In asexual reproduction, all of the offspring are:

• Physically Identical
• Genetically Identical
• The same age
• Not Identical

What is one disadvantage for asexual reproduction?

• Happens very quickly
• Only needs one parent
• Lack of genetic diversity
• All offspring are exact copies of parent

Which type(s) of reproduction involves NO genetic diversity?

• asexual
• sexual
• both
• neither

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

___________ reproduction has the advantage of increasing genetic variation.

• Sexual

• Asexual

• Fission

• Budding

How many parents are required for sexual reproduction?

• 0

• 1

• 2

• 3

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

• Asexual Reproduction
• Sexual Reproduction
