A gardener noticed that the offspring of his strawberry plants looked identical, while all of the
flowering plants looked different. Which is likely true of the plants?
The strawberries reproduced asexually, while the flowering plants reproduced sexually.
The strawberries reproduced sexually, while the flowering plants reproduced asexually.
Both the strawberries and flowering plants reproduced sexually.
Both the strawberries and flowering plants reproduced asexually.
How does the DNA of an asexually reproducing plant relate to its parent(s)?
Its DNA is a combination of two parent’s DNA.
Its DNA has mutations.
Its DNA is identical to its parent.
Which organism would you classify as sexually reproducing?
A strawberry plant that reproduces through runners in the ground
A starfish that reproduces by breaking off and regenerating parts of its body
An amoeba that splits through binary fission
A chicken egg that is fertilized by a rooster
only need 1 parent to reproduce

Describe the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction.
Sexual reproduction requires one parent, but asexual requires two.
Sexual reproduction produces identical offspring, but asexual produces offspring that are
a combination of both parents.
Sexual reproduction requires two parents, but asexual requires one.
Sexual reproduction is faster than asexual reproduction.
Which process produces offspring from two parents?

produces new organisms from the combined DNA of two parents. In sexual
reproduction, gametes (sex cells: sperm cells from father and egg cells from mother) formed during
meiosis combine during a process called fertilization.
