one

two

three

four

If two organisms reproduce sexually, then their offspring will exhibit a genetic makeup that is -

identical to only one parent

identical to all of its siblings

a unique combination of traits

the recessive traits of each parent

What are some of the facts about asexual reproduction?

Takes only one mate to reproduce and takes a longer time to reproduce

Takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce and it takes two mates to reproduce

Reproduces diverse offspring and takes a longer time to reproduce

Takes only one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter time to reproduce

Takes one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce

Takes two mates to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce

Takes one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce

What is an advantage of sexual reproduction?

Allows genetic variation

Only needs one parent

Happens very quickly

Offspring are exact copies of parent

What is one disadvantage of sexual reproduction?

Only one parent needed

Off spring are exact copies of parents

Happens very quickly

Needs two parents

Where does an off spring get its traits in asexual reproduction?

From both parents

From only one parent

From neither parent

There are no traits handed down

What is a disadvantage of asexual reproduction?

New species of organisms cannot come into being.

The offspring does not multiply rapidly.

The offspring does not live for long.

All of these

Which of the following describes the main advantages of sexual reproduction?

requires lots of time/energy

no new gene combos can arise

diversity

looks identical to the parent
