Reproductive Strategies

What is sexual reproduction?

• A process in which an organism reproduces asexually

• A process in which two organisms contribute genetic material to produce a new individual.

• A process in which an organism does not contribute genetic material

• A process in which an organism reproduces by cloning

What is asexual reproduction?

• Reproduction that involves multiple parents and produces genetically identical offspring.

• Reproduction that only involves one parent and produces genetically identical offspring.

• Reproduction that only involves one parent and produces genetically different offspring.

• Reproduction that involves two parents and produces genetically different offspring.

What is budding as a form of asexual reproduction?

• Budding is a form of sexual reproduction

• A new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud on the parent.

• Budding is a process where two organisms combine to form a new one

• A new organism develops from a seed

Explain conjugation as a reproductive strategy.

• Conjugation is a type of sexual reproduction in which two organisms exchange genetic material to produce offspring.

• Conjugation is a type of reproduction where an organism clones itself to produce offspring.

• Conjugation is a type of reproduction where an organism lays eggs that hatch into offspring.

• Conjugation is a type of asexual reproduction in which an organism divides into two identical offspring.

Describe binary fission as a method of reproduction.

• Binary fission is a method of sexual reproduction in which an organism combines its DNA with another organism to produce offspring.

• Binary fission is a method of reproduction in which an organism lays eggs that hatch into offspring.

• Binary fission is a method of reproduction in which an organism undergoes a series of complex cell divisions to produce offspring.

• Binary fission is a method of asexual reproduction in which an organism replicates its DNA and divides into two equal parts, producing two identical daughter cells.

What are the advantages of sexual reproduction?

• Decreased adaptability and genetic diversity

• Higher risk of genetic diseases

• Genetic diversity and increased adaptability

• Limited population growth and survival

How does budding differ from binary fission?

• Binary fission involves the formation of a small outgrowth on the parent organism, which eventually detaches to form a new individual.

• Budding involves the formation of a large outgrowth on the parent organism, which eventually detaches to form a new individual.

• Budding involves the formation of a small outgrowth on the parent organism, which eventually detaches to form a new individual.

• Budding and binary fission are the same process.

What is fragmentation and regeneration?

• Process whereby a single parent breaks into parts that regenerate into whole new individuals.

• Process whereby a single parent breaks into parts that regenerate into whole new individuals.

• Process whereby a single parent breaks into parts that regenerate into whole new individuals.

• Process whereby a single parent breaks into parts that regenerate into whole new individuals.

Which of the following are advantages of asexual reproduction?

• • Only need one parent and

    produces offspring quickly

• • Limited ability to adapt

  and bad traits passed on

• • Not all bad traits are passed on

  and able to adapt to changes

• • Produce small populations

  and takes longer
