Genetic Variation

What does asexual reproduction typically result in regarding the genetic information of the offspring?

• Offspring with varied genetic information

• Offspring with genetic information from two parents

• Offspring with identical genetic information to the parent

• Offspring with mutated genes

Which model is commonly used to describe the genetic outcomes of sexual reproduction?

• Photosynthesis diagrams

• Punnett squares

• Ecological pyramids

• Food chain diagrams

What is the main reason sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation?

• Random selection of single parent genes

• Environmental influences on genetic expression

• Combination of genes from two different parents

• Mutation of genes during reproduction

What does the cause-and-effect relationship in gene transmission refer to in sexual reproduction?

• The influence of climate on genetic variation

• The random mutation of genes post-fertilization

• The impact of parental genes on offspring

• The effect of environment on gene mutation

Increases genetic variation within a species

• Sexual Reproduction Advantage

• Asexual Reproduction Advantage

Which type of reproduction leads to increased genetic variation on a population?

• A. Parthenogenesis

• B. Asexual reproduction

• C. Sexual reproduction

• D. Vegetative reproduction

What is fertilization?

• When you put food on the plants

• The joining of the egg and sperm

• A part of mitosis

• The last step of meiosis

Sexual reproduction is....

• Two parents, offspring not identical to parent

• two parents, offspring identical to parent

• One parent, offspring identical to parent

If two organisms reproduce sexually, then their offspring will exhibit a genetic makeup that is -

• identical to only one parent
• identical to all of its siblings
• a unique combination of traits
• the recessive traits of each parent

Offspring resulting from asexual reproduction are always –

• flowering plants

• sterile

• genetically diverse

• genetically uniform
