Cell Reproduction review

At the end of meiosis II, how does the DNA in each of the four new cells compare to the DNA from the original cell?

• half as much and genetically the same as the original

• twice as much and genetically the same as the original

• half as much and genetically different from the original

• twice as much and genetically different from the original

The diagram shows a bacterial cell dividing. What is an ADVANTAGE of this type of reproduction?

• It is a slow process.

• Only one parent is required.

• New genetic combinations are created

• Offspring are well adapted to a changing environment

Meiosis results in the formation of ___.

• two genetically different, diploid cells

• four genetically identical, haploid cells.

• two genetically identical ,diploid cells.

• four genetically different, haploid cells.

Crossing over in Prophase I of meiosis results in _____.

• a female genotype.

• genetic diversity.

• a phenotype replication.

• a  male genotype.

The diagram shows a bacterial cell dividing. What is a DISADVANTAGE of this type of reproduction?

• It is a slow process.

• Only one parent is required.

• New genetic combinations are created.

• Offspring are not well adapted to a changing environment.

Which of these is true about asexual reproduction?

• It leads to the birth of very few offspring at one time.

• Genetic information is passed from parent to offspring, with no genetic variation.

• It cannot take place until and unless genetic information from two parents is combined.

• There is a greater chance of survival if the environmental conditions change.

Which is an ADVANTAGE of sexual reproduction?

• Two parents are required.

• Only one parent is required.

• It leads to genetically diverse offspring.

• It leads to genetically identical offspring.

Asexual reproduction has

• 1 parent

• 2 parents

Sexual reproduction has

• 1 parent

• 2 parents

Asexual reproduction creates offspring that are

• genetically identical to the parent

• different from the parent

• different from each other

• formed by 2 parents
