Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 15mins
A lion cub resembles its parents because it inherits (receives)....
a mixture of genetic material from both parents
two exact copies of genetic material from both parents
genetic material found in only one of the parents
Which statement about the organisms represented in the picture is correct?
Only the flowering plant, green heron (bird), and aquatic plant carry out photosynthesis.
Only the frog and green heron maintain homeostasis
All of the organisms pass on genetic material through reproduction.
A paramecium (para-me-see-um) is a single-celled organism that reproduces asexually. The offspring of a paramecium usually contain
only half of the genetic material of the parent cells
more DNA than the parent cell
genetic material identical to that of the parent cell
The diagram below represents events that occur during Sexual Reproduction. The stages labeled A, B, and C are necessary to ensure that the offspring will inherit
half of their genetic material from each parent
double the amount of genetic material from each parent
double the amount of chromosomes from one parent
Female hammerhead sharks sometimes produce offspring by a type of Asexual Reproduction. These offspring
are a result of the uniting of a male and a female sex cell
receive genetic information from only the female shark parent
are considered to be a different species from the male parent
receive genetic information from both parents
Which life function is not necessary for an individual organism to stay alive?
homeostasis
feedback mechanisms
cellular respiration
reproduction
What are the two reasons for reproduction?
Survival of the species AND passing on genetic material to offspring
Survival of the species AND maintaining homeostasis
Survival of individual organisms AND passing on genetic material to offspring
The picture shows the reproduction of an organism called a Planaria. Planeria can regenerate themselves even after they are injured. The planaria is being cut into 3 pieces and creating 3 new offspring. What type of reproduction is shown?
Sexual Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction
Both Sexual and Asexual Reproduction
What is an advantage of Asexual Reproduction?
Asexual reproduction is a slower type of reproduction
Asexual reproduction can save energy and happen faster
Asexual reproduction increases the risk of extinction
Many tiny plants can be seen developing Asexually along the edge of the "mother-of-thousands" plant leaf. The tiny plants eventually drop and grow into new plants of the same species. One way asexual reproduction differs from sexual reproduction is....
more genetic variety is seen in the offspring in asexual reproduction
the offspring and the parents are genetically identical in asexual reproduction
the new plants have the combined genetic material of both parents in asexual reproduction
