The reproductive process in which a single cell makes a copy of itself
Variation
Inherited trait
Inherited trait
Asexual reproduction
When someone says that a daughter looks just like her mother, is it possible that the daughter is an exact copy of her mother?
No, because a daughter gets all of her alleles from her father.
Yes, because a daughter gets alleles from her mother.
No, because a daughter receives half of her genetic make up from her father.
Yes, because humans can practice asexual reproduction under certain circumstances.
Offspring resulting from asexual reproduction are always –
flowering plants
sterile
genetically diverse
genetically uniform
Different forms or versions of something
Variation
Asexual reproduction
Chromosome
Inherited trait
Inherited trait
A characteristic that is passed from parent to offspring
A single, highly organized and structured piece of DNA
Different forms or versions of something
The reproductive process involving two parents whose genetic material is combined to produce a new organism different from themselves
Why does sexual reproduction produce diverse offspring?
The cells of the offspring lack DNA.
The offspring all grow at different rates.
The offspring have a unique combination of DNA from its parents.
The offspring are spores.

A characteristic that is passed from parent to offspring
Two red flowers produce a white flower as an offspring. Which of the following best explains how this is possible?
It is a mistake.
A mutation occurred.
The parents were heterozygous, and the white flower is the expression of the recessive alleles.
White flowers are an adaptation to help with survival.

A characteristic that is passed from parent to offspring
What will two homozygous-dominant parents (BB and BB) produce for offspring?
All offspring will be genotype BB.
All offspring will be genotype bb.
It is impossible to predict what the genotypes of the offspring will be.
All offspring will be genotype Bb.
