created by vegetative propagation
c)
made of cells with a cell wall

different from its siblings
12.

identical to all of its siblings

the recessive traits of each parent
13.
Prokaryotes reproduce asexually via -

15.
All of the offspring of an organism have the same genetic material, which is identical to the parent organism. From this, we can conclude that this organism -
a)
makes its own food
b)
is unicellular
c)
live in a marine habitat
d)
reproduces asexually
16.
Compared to the offspring produced by sexual reproduction, the offspring produced by asexual reproduction will be -
a)
less vulnerable to prey
b)
larger in size
c)
better adapted to their habitat
d)
more genetically uniform
17.
When comparing the offspring of sexually and asexually reproducing organisms, we would expect the genetic material of the sexually reproducing organism to -
a)
contain fewer mutations
b)
be lesser in quantity
c)
be simpler overall
d)
show more variation
18.
Whether or not an organism reproduces sexually or asexually, the offspring resulting from reproduction has traits that depend directly on its parent’s or parents’ -
a)
genetic material
b)
physical appearance
c)
habitat location
d)
migration patterns
19.
The genetic material of an offspring of sexually reproducing organisms is best described as–

identical to that of the other offspring
b)
a copy of the genetic material of the mother
c)
a copy of the genetic material of the father

genes from both parents, in unique combinations
