Reproduction

Using the diagram, which type of asexual reproduction is being demonstrated by the bacterial cell?

• Binary Fission

• Budding

• Spore Formation

• Regeneration

If an organism reproduces asexually, its offspring will most likely be:

• produced as a result of fertilization
• Genetically identical to the parent
• Genetically different from each other
• Produced from specialized cells known as gametes

Which statement below is correct about asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction?

• Asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction both involve one parent

• Sexual reproduction involves making clones and asexual reproduction creates diverse/different offspring

• Asexual reproduction creates clones and sexual reproduction creates diverse/different offspring

Genetic Variation means

• genetic differences in a population or species
• genetic similarities between a population or species

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

What are some of the facts about sexual reproduction?

• Takes two mates to reproduce and takes a longer time to reproduce
• Takes one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce
• Takes two mates to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce
• Takes one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce

What is an advantage of sexual reproduction?

• Allows genetic variation
• Only needs one parent
• Offspring are exact copies of parent

What is one disadvantage of sexual reproduction?

• Only one parent needed

• Offspring are exact copies of parents

• Happens very quickly

• Needs two parents

Which type of asexual reproduction is pictured?

• Spore Formation

• Regeneration

• Budding

• Vegetative Propagation

What is a gamete?

• sex cell

• human cells

• plant cells

• plant and animal cells
