Sexual reproduction —

• results in genetic variation in the offspring

• produces offspring that are identical to the parent

• decreases the chances of survival of the species

• results in genetic material being donated to offspring by only one parent

The diagram represents different processes involved in reproduction.

Which diagram(s) represent sexual reproduction?  

• II and III

• III only

• I, II, and IV

• I and II

Which of the following best defines heredity?

• The passage of genetic instructions from one generation to the next generation

• The study of the genetic instructions that are passed from parent to offspring

• The specific sequence of DNA and RNA that code for specific traits

• The process of creating more organisms of a species

An organism inherits its genetic instructions from the —

• organism's offspring

• organism's parents

• organism's mating partner

• organism's prey

What results from asexual reproduction?

• Offspring that are genetically identical to the parent

• Offspring that are genetically different from each other

• Offspring that are genetically different from the parent

• Offspring that are genetically identical to similar species

The picture below shows yeast budding. Yeast reproduce asexually by budding, a process in which a bud breaks off the original yeast cell.

Which of the following best describes a yeast bud?

• A yeast bud is genetically identical to the original yeast cell.

• A yeast bud contains genetic material from its two parents.

• A yeast bud has different mutations from the original yeast cell.

• A yeast bud has half as much genetic material as the original yeast cell

How do the offspring produced by asexual reproduction differ from those produced by sexual reproduction?

• Offspring produced by asexual reproduction are bigger.

• Offspring produced by asexual reproduction use more energy.

• Offspring produced by asexual reproduction are more uniform.

• Offspring produced by asexual reproduction are produced more slowly.

The picture below shows a bee as it helps fertilize a flowering plant by crawling along one of its flowers, causing pollen to sprinkle into the flower's pistil.

Which of the following is correct about how this flowering plant reproduces?   

• It reproduces sexually, which is a process that uses meiosis to form sex cells.

• It reproduces asexually, which is a process that forms identical offspring.

• It reproduces sexually, which is a process that is less advanced than asexual reproduction.

• It reproduces asexually, which provides the largest advantage for the survival of a species

Where is the genetic material that determines the inherited traits of an organism located

 inside of a eukaryotic cell?

• A.Cytoplasm

• B.Vacuole

• C.Nucleus

• D.Ribosome

A tiger cub has a pattern of stripes on its fur that is similar to that of its parents. Where are 

the instructions stored that provide information for a tiger’s fur pattern?

• A . In cytoplasm inside cells

• B. On genes within chromosomes

• C. On the cell membrane

• D. In the mitochondria
