What type of reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent?
sexual reproduction
genetic engineering
meiosis
asexual reproduction
How do mitosis and meiosis differ?
meiosis produces 2 identical cells, while mitosis produces 4 identical cells
mitosis produces 2 identical cells, while meiosis produces 4 different cells
Mitosis produces 4 different cells, while meiosis produces 2 identical cells
Meiosis produces 1 cell and mitosis produces multiple cells
What are genes?
Segments of DNA that code for physical characteristics
The organelle that directs all of the cells activities
Characteristics that parents teach their offspring
Sex cells: egg and sperm
In frogs there are 26 chromosomes in a fertilized egg. Which best describes how many chromosomes are in the egg and sperm cells BEFORE fertilization?
26 chromosomes - egg cell and 26 chromosomes - sperm cell
52 chromosomes - egg cell and 52 chromosomes - sperm cell
13 chromosomes - egg cell and 52 chromosomes - sperm cell
13 chromosomes - egg cell and 13 chromosomes - sperm cell
The process by which a cell creates an exact copy if itself, allowing an organism to GROW is known as:
Meiosis
Mitosis
Genetic mutation
fertilization
The picture shows the process of cellular division resulting to two genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell. This process is called __
mitosis
meiosis
fetilization
binary fusion
If an organism reproduces asexually, as in budding, its offsprings will most likely be:
genetically different from each other
produced from specialized cells called sperm and egg cells
genetically identical to the parent
produced as a result of fertilization
Which picture shows the result of the original cell dividing to create cells with HALF the number of the chromosomes as the original cell?
A
B
C
D
What is wrong with the process in the picture above?
I - Mitosis, there are too many daughter cells
II - Meiosis, there are too many chromosomes in each daughter cells
III - Meiosis there are too many daughter cells
IV - Mitosis, here are too many chromosomes in each daughter cells
II and IV
I and II
III and IV
I and III
Cows have 60 chromosomes. A calf received one set of chromosomes from its mother and another set of chromosomes from its father. How many chromosomes did each parent contribute?
Mom and Dad each gave 60
Mom and Dad each gave 15
Mom and Dad each gave 120
Mom and Dad each gave 30
Amoebas are examples of organisms that are produced asexually. When they reproduce, they replace their DNA and divide in HALF. Therefore,
none of the offspring's genes are identical to those of the parents
all of the offspring's genes are identical to those of the parents
half of offspring's genes come from one of the parents
very few of the offspring's genes come from one of the parents
How does sperm or egg cell differ from all the other cells in your body?
sperm and egg contain only half the number of chromosomes as the other cells
sperm and egg contain twice the number of chromosomes as the other cells
sperm and egg reproduce through mitosis, and the other cells through meiosis
sperm and egg cells contain no chromosomes
Which phrase does NOT describe asexual reproduction?
requires two parents
little variation in offspring
only one type of cell is involved
Duplicates its genetical materials
When an egg and sperm form an embryo, the offspring that is formed will have genetic traits that are _____
Inherited from only two parent
Created by the environment
Passed on from two parents
Learned from siblings
