Asexual Reproduction

In asexual reproduction, all of the offspring are:

• Physically Identical
• Genetically Identical
• Physically and Genetically Identical
• Not Identical

A hydra reproduces when an outgrowth, or bud, forms and continues to develop until it falls off of the parent. This is an example of:

• Binary Fission

• Sporulation

• Budding

• Vegetative Propagation

• budding
• sporulation
• vegetative propagation
• binary fission

What type of asexual reproduction is taking place?
Fishermen work hard to catch and remove all the starfish that get into their favorite shell fishing beds and the “underwater farms” where they raise clams and oysters. In the past, they put the starfish into their boats, cut them up with knives, and then throw the pieces of starfish overboard. They thought this would kill the starfish. What they did not know was that each piece of starfish will grow into a whole new animal.

• Regeneration
• Vegetative propagation
• Budding
• Fission

How many parent(s)are needed for asexual?

• 4
• 1
• 9
• 100

What are some of the facts about asexual reproduction?

• Takes only one mate to reproduce and takes a longer time to reproduce
• Takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce and it takes two mates to reproduce
• Reproduces diverse offspring and takes a longer time to reproduce
• Takes only one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter time to reproduce

Name an organism that reproduces through binary fission.

Sexual reproduction requires _____ parents and asexual reproduction requires ___ parents

• 1,1
• 2,2
• 2,1
• 1,2 

Which type of asexual reproduction is taking place?
A planarian is a non-parasitic flatworm.  If a planarian was injured by a predator, it could re-grow its body parts.  If the body parts were not eaten by the predator, the part could re-grow into a whole new planarian as well.

• Budding
• Fission
• Vegetative propagation
• Regeneration

• Vegetative Reproduction
