identical to only one parent

identical to all of its siblings
c)
a unique combination of traits
d)
the recessive traits of each parent
12.
Prokaryotes (bacteria) reproduce asexually via -
a)
spore formation
b)
bud creation
c)
vegetative propagation
d)
binary fission
13.

makes its own food
b)
is unicellular
c)
live in a marine habitat

show more variation
15.

identical to that of the other offspring
b)
a copy of the genetic material of the mother
c)
a copy of the genetic material of the father
d)
genes from both parents, in unique combinations
16.
Is the following asexual or sexual reproduction?
A labradoodle is a type of dog that is crossed between a labradoor retriever and a poodle.  The labradoodle puppy takes on the traits of both of its parents.  Female dogs have a pregnancy period of almost 70 days.

b)
Asexual
17.
