Asexual Reproduction
Sexual Reproduction
Reproduction
Production
Which are correct reasons that confirm the importance of reproduction
To ensure survival

Mrs. Gren
Name two main kinds of reproduction
Sexual and Bisexual
Non-sexual and asexual
Sexual and asexual
Fragmentation and binary fission
Higher chance of adapting or evolving over time to keep up with environmental changes
Only needs one parent - no extra time used on looking for a mate
Happens very quickly and easily - energy efficient
Budding is a form of sexual reproduction.
False
True
Performed in laboratories and produces identical individuals from a cell or from a cluster of cells taken from a multicellular organism:
fission
budding
cloning
regeneration
What organism reproduces using vegetative regeneration, called runners?
coral
strawberries
bacteria
sea star
Offspring means ___________________.
product of reproduction

grandparents in an ancestry
newborns
Sexual Reproduction involves ______ parents.
zero
one
two
three
Asexual Reproduction involves _______________. (select two)
two parents
an organism cloning itself
one "parent" (no true parents)
no organisms
Which statement applies to all forms of sexual reproduction?
All offspring from are identical to the parents.
Offspring receive genetic material from two parents.
Offspring completely develop inside the mother’s body before birth.
All offspring are clones.
Female New Zealand mud snails are able to produce viable offspring that develop into mature adults from unfertilized eggs.
Parthenogenesis
Budding
Sexual reproduction
Binary fission
Which 2 of the following statements is true for sexual reproduction?
Occurs in bacteria
Single organism makes an exact copy of itself
Provides genetic variation, but is time-consuming
Male and female system is required
Which of the following answer choices best describes the image shown?
It depicts (shows) asexual reproduction occurring through binary fission, a process that does not lead to genetic variation.
It depicts (shows) sexual reproduction occurring through parthenogenesis, a process that leads to genetic variation.
It depicts (shows) asexual reproduction occurring through budding, a process that does not lead to genetic variation.
It depicts (shows) sexual reproduction occurring through the fusion of gametes, a process that leads to genetic variation.
A species of shark reproduces sexually in the wild, but females of this species can reproduce asexually in captivity.
What is one disadvantage of asexual reproduction?
Decreased genetic diversity within the species
Decreased number of offspring produced
Increased in genetic combinations to make future offspring more diverse
Increased number of males produced
In a species of yeast, a new small individual develops as an outgrowth on a parent, which then separates from the parent once it has matured.
What type of reproduction is this?
Fragmentation
Binary fission
Parthenogenesis
Budding
Gregor Mendel is famous for his experiments on Pisum sativum (pea plant, pictured above), which is capable of self-fertilizing by combining its own male and female cells/gametes.
Sexual reproduction; male and female will fuse to form a unique zygote
Asexual reproduction; male and female gametes undergo fragmentation
Asexual reproduction; male and female gametes undergo binary fission
Sexual reproduction; the plant will bud off a unique offspring after self-fertilizing
What statement accurately compares sexual and asexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction occurs only in animals while asexual reproduction occurs only in plants.
Sexual reproduction requires one parent while asexual reproduction requires two.
Sexual reproduction results in genetic variation and asexual reproduction does not.
Sexual reproduction is much faster than asexual reproduction.
Which statement correctly describes the offspring of asexual reproduction?
They develop much SLOWER than offspring of sexual reproduction
They are reproduced without a male and female cells fusing
They are genetically diverse (different) from their parent
They inherit half of the DNA from it female parent and half from its male parent
New starfish can develop from broken arms that have detached from the original starfish.
Fragmentation
Binary Fission
Mitosis
Budding
Only animals reproduce sexually
True
False
Nobody knows
Being different
Asexual Reproduction
Sexual Reproduction
Diverse
Uniform
Asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction both involve one parent
Sexual reproduction involves making clones and asexual reproduction creates diverse/different offspring
Asexual reproduction creates clones and sexual reproduction creates diverse/different offspring
DNA/genetic differences in a population or species.
DNA/genetic similarities between a population or species
