The main goal of organisms is to produce as many offspring as possible to carry on their genetic information.

• True

• False

4. Strawberry plants reproduce by vegetative propagation in which the daughter plants are clones of the parent. Vegetative Propagation is-

• A. Sexual Reproduction because fertilization occurs
• B. Asexual Reproduction because fertilization occurs
• C. Sexual Reproduction because the offspring is identical to the parent
• D. Asexual Reproduction because the offspring is identical to the parent

5. Which is true about asexual and sexual reproduction?

• A. Asexual reproduction produces uniform offspring; Sexual reproduction produces diverse offspring
• B. Asexual reproduction requires fertilization; Sexual reproduction also requires fertilization
• C. Asexual reproduction takes a longer time than sexual reproduction
• D. Asexual reproduction requires a female egg and a male sperm; Sexual reproduction does not

What type of asexual reproduction is it?

• regeneration

• sporulation

• binary fission

What are the advantages of asexual reproduction?

• Can be complicated, smaller population produced, and requires courtship and mating.

• High genetic variation, offspring are more able to adapt, not all bad genes are passed on.

• No genetic variation, bad characteristics are passed on, difficult for organisms to adapt.

• Only need one parent, produces more offspring quickly, occurs simply.
