L.8.2A SEXUAL AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Which statement best explains how hereditary information is passed from parents to offspring?

• Genes that determine each trait are located in chromosomes and are passed from parents to their offspring during reproduction.

• Genes that determine each trait are located on ribosomes and are passed from parents to their offspring during protein synthesis.

• Genes that determine each trait are located in the endoplasmic reticulum and are passed from parents to their offspring during reproduction.

• Genes that determine each trait are located in the mitochondria and are passed from parents to their offspring during division of mitochondria.

• 
• 
• 
• 

The diagram shows the process of reproduction observed in a hydra.Which statement best describes the process by which hydra reproduce?

• A single parent produces a genetically identical offspring by sexual reproduction.

• A single parent produces a genetically identical offspring by asexual reproduction.

• A single parent produces an egg and sperm that combine to develop into an offspring.

• A single parent produces an egg that develops into an offspring without being fertilize.

• Mitosis produces new cells that are identical to the parent cell.

• Mitosis ensures that each newly produced cell has more genetic material than the parent cell.

• Mitosis allows a cell to divide into four cells each with double the size of the parent cell.

• Mitosis causes a cell to undergo uncontrolled division.

• Each daughter cell will have more genetic material than the parent cell.

• Cell division will result in two daughter cells that are different from each other.

• Cell division will result in two daughter cells that rely on each other for survival.

• Both daughter cells will have identical genetic material to the parent cell.

A student observed cells from an onion root tip in a microscope. The diagram shows her observation.What was happening in the cells?

• process of cell division

• synthesis of high energy molecules

• transport of material between nearby cells

• buildup of waste material in large vacuoles

Why is the formation of new cells important?

• It allows for growth, repair, and reproduction.

• It allows unicellular organisms to carry on all life activities.

• It creates enzymes that regulate all chemical reactions.

• It creates large unicellular organisms from prokaryotic cells.

Which statement accurately describes how genetic information is transferred during meiosis?

• Meiosis creates four daughter cells that have half the number of chromosomes that are present in the parent cells.

• Meiosis creates two daughter cells that have half the number of chromosomes that are present in the parent cells.

• Meiosis creates four daughter cells that have identical genetic information to the parent cells.

• Meiosis creates two daughter cells that have identical genetic information to the parent cells
