WRS Reproduction and Mitosis Review

What would likely happen id a multicellular organism could no longer perform mitosis?

• It would generate new cells through meiosis instead.

• The organism would rely on gaining cells from other nearby organisms.

• The organism would adapt to function without the use of cells.

• The organism would die as it is no longer able to replace damaged cells.

Budding and binary fission are both types of asexual reproduction. What is known about the daughter cells as a result of the two processes?

• Mitosis ensures that they are identical to one another and to the original parent cell.

• Mitosis ensures that they have half of the genetic information from the original parent cell.

• Respiration ensures that they are identical to one another and to the original parent cell.

• Repiration ensures that they have half of the genetic information from the original parent cell.

What is the function of genes found in an organism?

• Genes code for traits present in an organism and can be passed on to the organism’s offspring.

• Genes code for traits present in an organism and cannot be passed on to the organism’s offspring.

• Genes code for traits that can be inherited by organisms that reproduce asexually but not those that reproduce sexually.

• Genes code for traits that can be inherited by organisms that reproduce sexually but not those that reproduce asexually.
