Sexual/Asexual Reproduction Quizizz

Which best describes the process of sexual reproduction?

• a flatworm being cut into pieces and growing into new organisms

• A strawberry plant using runners to reproduce

• Two animals mating, which results in the sperm of the male fertilizing the egg of the female.

• a fungi releasing spores into the air

hydra's reproduce by means of budding...which best describes how the offspring will be in relation to the parent?

• identical to the single parent

• identical to both parents

• It will contain a mix of both parents

• different traits of the single parent

Which best explains why the offspring of a bacteria contains the exact same genetic information as the parent?

• genetic information of both parents have crossed over during meiosis/sexual reproduction

• the process of asexual reproduction results in exact genetic copies of the parent

• The anther of a flower pollinates the stigma of a flower during sexual reproduction of a plant

• the process of asexual reproduction results in variation of genes within the offspring

Strawberries can reproduce either sexually or asexually. Which explains the genetic material of an offspring produced by means of asexual reproduction/runners?

• the new strawberry plant has twice the amount of genetic material of the parent

• the new strawberry plant has a random genetic assortment

• the parent strawberry plant has twice the amount of genetic material compared to the new strawberry plant

• both the parent strawberry plant and the offspring have the same genetic identity

Humans reproduce by means of sexual reproduction. Which best explains the genetic makeup of human offspring?

• the offspring contains twice the amount of genetic material of both parents

• the offspring contains a mixture of genetic material from both parents

• the offspring contains twice the amount of genetic material of only one parent

• the offspring is an exact copy of one parent

Horse racing is a well-known, and popular sport all over the world. Often times after the horses retire, they are bred with other winning horses to produce offspring that will contain the genetic material of the champion horses in hopes that the foals (offspring) will inherit the desired traits of parents. Sometimes, the desired traits do not present themselves in the offspring. Which best explains why the foals may not inherit a desired trait of a parent?

• Sexual reproduction requires more energy than asexual reproduction- which will affect which traits the foals inherit

• Sexual reproduction takes longer than asexual reproduction and produces fewer offspring- which will affect which traits the foals inherit

• Sexual reproduction results in a mixture of genetic material from both parents. The offspring will get 50% genetic material from the male and 50% genetic material from the female that produces genetic variation in offspring

which of the following would be considered an ADVANTAGE of sexual reproduction?

• Requires two parents

• Takes more time to reproduce

• takes more energy to care for offspring

• allows for genetic variation in offspring

Which of the following would be considered a DISADVANTAGE of sexual reproduction?

• greater genetic variation

• higher adaptability

• Requires more energy

• lesser likelihood of extinction

Which of the following would be considered an ADVANTAGE of asexual reproduction?

• Less genetic variation

• Less adaptability

• Higher chance of harmful mutations/extinction

• produces lots of offspring in short amount of time

Which of the following would be considered a DISADVANTAGE of asexual reproduction?

• lots of offspring in short amount of time

• Less energy required to reproduce

• only needs one parent

• less adaptability and no genetic variation
