Asexual and Sexual Reproduction - Science 8

What is the cell process called that produces identical cells?

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Photosynthesis

• Cellular Respiration

Which results in offspring that are genetically unique and display a combination of traits from each parent?

• Sexual

• Asexual

• Neither

• Both

A bee flies from one apple blossom to another and transfers pollen as it goes. Which type results from pollination?

• Sexual

• Asexual

• Neither

• Both

Which type of reproduction results in offspring that are identical to the parent?

• Sexual

• Asexual

• Neither

• Both

3. Which of the following is an advantage of asexual reproduction?

• A. Uniform offspring
• B. Rapid reproduction
• C. Requires more time and energy
• D. Selective Breeding

4. Strawberry plants reproduce by vegetative propagation in which the daughter plants are clones of the parent. Vegetative Propagation is-

• A. Sexual Reproduction because fertilization occurs
• B. Asexual Reproduction because fertilization occurs
• C. Sexual Reproduction because the offspring is identical to the parent
• D. Asexual Reproduction because the offspring is identical to the parent

5. Which is true about asexual and sexual reproduction?

• A. Asexual reproduction produces uniform offspring; Sexual reproduction produces diverse offspring
• B. Asexual reproduction requires fertilization; Sexual reproduction also requires fertilization
• C. Asexual reproduction takes a longer time than sexual reproduction
• D. Asexual reproduction requires a female egg and a male sperm; Sexual reproduction does not

1. A bee carries pollen from the male anther of a plant to the female stigma of another plant. Because of the bee, pollination occurs. Pollination is an example of-

• A. Sexual reproduction because it produces uniform offspring
• B. Asexual reproduction because it produces uniform offspring
• C. Sexual reproduction because fertilization occurs
• D. Asexual reproduction because fertilization occurs

What is the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction?

• Asexual produces genetically different offspring. Sexual produces genetically identical.

• Sexual produces offspring with fewer chromosomes. Asexual produces more.

• Sexual produces genetically different offspring. Asexual produces genetically identical.

• Sexual reproduction is quicker than asexual.

What is the purpose of meiosis?

• To create daughter cells.

• To create identical cells.

• To create offspring that are genetically identical.

• To create a faster process of reproduction.
