MPT 1.3 Test Practice

Salmonella typhi is a bacteria that reproduces by splitting into two identical organisms. What type of asexual reproduction is this?

• Budding

• Binary Fission

• Vegetable Propagation

• Fragmenation

Like other conifers, redwood trees have male and female cones that rely on the wind for pollination. New trees also sprout from shallow roots which generate trees identical to the parent. What type of reproduction do redwoods use?

• both

• asexual

• sexual

• none

While studying about reproduction in organisms, a student made the following list.
​
                          Title ?

• produces genetic diversity

• allows for disease resistance

• offers a chance to reduce or remove undesirable traits from a species

Which title for the list is most accurate?

• Advantages of Sexual Reproduction

• Advantages of Asexual Reproduction

• Disadvantages of Sexual Reproduction

• Disadvantages of Asexual Reproduction

An organism is living in a rapidly changing environment. For an organism in this situation, sexual reproduction is advantageous because–

• it produces more offspring than asexual reproduction within a given period.

• the offspring are different from the parents, and some maybe better adapted.

• it requires more time to complete, allowing the environment to become more stable.

• the offspring grow to maturity more rapidly

Select the advantages for sexual reproduction.

• diversity promotes survival, increases genetic variation

• can be wiped out by disease

• takes a lot of energy

• reproduces quickly

Mitosis is used during

• cell growth

• sexual reproduction

• germ cells

Mitosis is during

• asexual reproduction

• sexual reproduction

How are sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction different?

• sexual reproduction produces offspring identical to the parents, but asexual reproduction produces offspring with traits from both parents.

• asexual reproduces produces offspring identical to the parents, but sexual reproduction produces offspring with traits from both parents.

The hydra is an organism that reproduces by growing another organism from the side of its tubular body. What type of asexual reproduction is this?

• binary fission

• vegetative propagation

• budding

• fragmentation

Planaria are flatworms that reproduce asexually. Catfish reproduce sexually. Which statement best compares planaria and catfish?

• Planaria have offspring that are genetically different, and catfish have offspring that are identical

• Planaria have offspring one at a time, and catfish produce large numbers of offspring at one time.

• Planaria requires less time produce offspring, and catfish require more time to produce offspring.

• Planaria require large amounts of energy to produce offspring, and catfish require little energy to produce offspring.
