Total questions: 14
Worksheet time: 7mins
The smallest structural and functional unit of an organism is a/an
Cell
Atom
Chromosome
Germ cell are found in the
Bones
Ovaries and Testes
Blood
Throughout the body
These structures become tightly packed during cell division. They contain DNA.
Centrioles
Centromere
Chromosomes
Which is NOT true of Meiosis?
Meiosis starts with half the number of chromosome as Mitosis
There are 23 chromosomes from each parent cell passed on to the offspring.
The genetic offspring are exactly like the parent cell.
Meiosis goes through 2 stages of division, Meiosis I and II.
Genetic variation (differences) increases

Define asexual reproduction
A mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent.
A mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by two parent organisms
the swapping of genetic material that occurs in the germ line
Which is NOT an advantage for asexual reproduction?
Less genetic variation
No need for a mate
