Which statement is true of all living things?
They have two parents
They are exact copies of their parents
They come from other living things
They young look like small adults
Which is the result of genetic variation in a new generation of organisms?
Sexual reproduction involving two parents
Sexual reproduction involving one parent
Asexual reproduction involving two parents

Which statement correctly describes the result of mitosis?
A cell divides to form two new cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.
Two cells combine to form a genetically different cell.
A cell divides to form two new cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent.
A cell divides to form two new cells, each with double the number of chromosomes of the parent.
What is an important advantage of asexual reproduction?
It creates new genetic combination
Each offspring is different from its parents
It readily adapts to environmental changes
It insures there will be genetic continuity.
Which process of cell division produces two identical cells from the original cell?
mitosis
meiosis
genetics
reproduction
A human cell contains 46 chromosomes. If the cell undergoes meiosis and divides, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell contain?
None
46
23
92
Where are the instructions for the inherited traits of an organism found?
X chromosome
RNA molecule
DNA molecule
Y chromosome
Which of these is an example of sexual reproduction?
An earthworm grows a new segment
An egg is fertilized by a sperm
Bacteria cells divide
A new plant develops from an old one.
Paramecia ususally reproduce asexually. Fish reproduce sexually. Suppose the environmental conditions change in the pond they live in. What advantage will the fish population have over the paramecium population?
Sexual reproduction decreases the genetic variability in the fish populations.
Sexual reproduction limits the spread of harmful characteristics in fish populations.
Sexual reproduction allows populations to adapt to new conditions over fewer generations.
Sexual reproduction produces offspring that are identical to the parents.
Using the picture below, what type of reproduction is shown?
Photosynthesis
Respiration
Asexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction
Spontaneous generation
What is the form of reproduction in which cells from two different parents unite to form a new offspring?
Sexual Reproduction
Monerans
Asexual reproduction
Homeostasis
What type of reproduction produces an offspring identical to a single parent?
Primary reproduction
Secondary reproduction
Asexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction
In what way are the processes of asexual and sexual reproduction similar?
Both produce an offspring
Both require two parents
Both produce genetically identical offspring
Both require fertilization
How can parent and daughter cells be compared in mitosis and meiosis?
Think about the results in terms of the number of chromosomes in each cell after mitosis or meiosis.
They are identical in both mitosis and meiosis
They are identical in meiosis, but differ in mitosis
They are identical in mitosis, but differ in meiosis
They are different in both mitosis and meiosis.
What is the process of meiosis?
Choose the best answer.
Splitting cells apart
Coping DNA
Cell division of skin cells
Cell division of reproductive cells
What is the special kind of cell division in which sex cells are produced with half as many chromosomes?
Meiosis
Cell reproduction
Mitosis
Cell division
Which process of cell division creates haploid cells?
Meiosis
Mitosis
What is one advantage of asexual reproduction?
Limits the spread of detrimental characteristics
Increases the spread of detrimental characteristics
Can lead to the gradual extinction of a species
Allows for variations within a species
What is one advantage of sexual reproduction?
Maintains genetic continuity over many generations
Limits the adaptive characteristics of a species
Allows for variations or new combinations of traits
Limits the spread of detrimental characteristics
Because individual organisms do not live forever, what is one reason organisms must reproduce?
Create varied phenotypes
Develop new combinations of traits
Continue their species
Provide behaviors to be learned
What characterizes asexual reproduction?
Method that the most complex organisms use to reproduce
Two organisms make one
Passing of hybrid traits
Providing genetic continuity
What is the unit of inheritance passed from parents to offspring known as?
Thyamine
Mutations
Genes
