DNA and Reproduction Review

Which of the following correctly compares mitosis and meiosis?

• Mitosis produces two genetically identical cells and meiosis produces two genetically

  different cells.

• Meiosis produces two genetically identical cells and mitosis produces two genetically

  different cells.

• Mitosis produces four genetically different cells and meiosis produces two genetically

  identical cells.

• Meiosis produces four genetically different cells and mitosis produces two genetically

  identical cells.

Which of the following correctly compares sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction?

• Sexual reproduction has 1 parent and asexual has 2 parents.

• Sexual reproduction produces offspring that are identical and asexual produces offspring that are all different.

• Sexual reproduction produces offspring that are all different and asexual produces offspring that are all identical.

• Sexual reproduction produces offspring that are all different and asexual produces offspring that are all different.

What statement best describes how we get our traits and the correct relationship between chromosome, DNA, and gene?

• DNA produces genes which are types of cells located in the chromosome.

• Traits produce DNA when reproduction occurs passing genes to the next generation.

• Chromosomes contain DNA where the genes that store the information about our traits

  are located.

• Genes determine the type of DNA we will receive from our parents which are located on

  our chromosomes.

What type of reproduction would best survive a major change in the habitat of an organism?

• Sexual reproduction can produce many offspring quickly in a changing environment.

• Asexual reproduction can occur quickly, so it wouldn't matter if the environment changes.

• Sexual reproduction would produce genetically different offspring which gives the organism a better change to survive.

• Asexual reproduction would produce genetically identical offspring which gives the organism a

  greater chance to survive.

• Sexual reproduction by meiosis.

• Asexual reproduction by meiosis.

• Asexual reproduction by mitosis.

Why does sexual reproduction result in more genetic diversity than asexual reproduction? 

• 
  DNA from two parents are combined. 

• More organisms reproduce this way. 

• Offspring grow in different environments. 

• Offspring come from identical parents.
