7SCI-Q4-T14-L 9.2 - Asexual Reproduction

What is asexual reproduction?

• Process where offspring are produced from two parents

• Process where offspring are produced from a single parent

• Process exclusive to multicellular organisms

• Process that involves the fusion of gametes

Which of the following is a type of asexual reproduction?

• Sexual reproduction

• Budding

• Fertilization

• Cross-pollination

What is an advantage of asexual reproduction?

• High genetic diversity

• Genetic recombination

• High adaptability to changing environments

• Rapid production of offspring

Which organism is known to reproduce through budding?

• Butterflies

• Lions

• Hydra

• Rabbits

What is a disadvantage of asexual reproduction?

• Efficiency in stable environments

• Requirement for mates

• Lack of genetic diversity

• Rapid adaptation to new environments

Which of the following is a method of sexual reproduction?

• Fragmentation

• Vegetative propagation

• Binary fission

• Fertilization

In which of the following environments would asexual reproduction be most advantageous?

• Highly competitive, rapidly changing environments

• Stable environments with little change

• Environments with high predator presence

• Environments with low nutrient availability

Which of the following statements about asexual reproduction is true?

• It involves the fusion of gametes from two parents.

• It results in offspring with high genetic variability.

• It can occur through processes such as budding and binary fission.

• It is the primary method of reproduction in most mammals.

How does binary fission differ from budding?

• Binary fission involves the division of a parent into two parts, while budding involves the growth of a new organism from a smaller part of the parent.

• Binary fission is exclusive to plants, while budding is exclusive to animals.

• Binary fission requires two parents, while budding requires only one.

• There is no difference; both are the same process.

What role does mitosis play in asexual reproduction?

• It reduces the chromosome number by half to prepare for fertilization.

• It ensures that offspring have the same genetic material as the parent.

• It mixes genetic material to increase diversity.

• It eliminates defective genes from the population.
