Asexual Reproduction

The process used for asexual reproduction is

• meiosis

• mitosis

Offspring that are produced by only one parent are

• genetically diverse

• clones

• gametes

Asexual reproduction produces offspring with DNA that is _________ the parent.

• different from

• the same as

A type of organism that reproduces using binary fission is

• humans

• insects

• bacteria

• sharks

Hydra reproduce by

• binary fission

• budding

• sexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction requires two

• gametes

• blastocysts

• embryos

Mitosis is _____ reproduction because all offspring (known as daughter cells) have the DNA from only one parent and are clones of that parent

• sexual
• asexual
• fertilization
• haploid

How does the DNA in the offspring produced by these methods compare to the DNA in the original organism?

• The offspring contain half of the original chromosomes in each method

• The DNA in the offspring is genetically identical to that of the original organism in both methods

• The offspring produced by method A contain twice the original number of genes while those produced by B contain half the original number of genes

• The number of DNA bases is less than that of the original organism in method A, but more than the original number in method B

One characteristic of all living things (including cells) is that they

• develop organ systems

• maintain internal stability

• produce identical offspring

• synthesize only inorganic matter

Which process takes place in both methods A and B

• Meiosis

• Mitosis

• Fertilization

• Recombination
