Practice Quiz: Reproduction and Genetics

In asexual reproduction, all of the offspring are:

Which statement best describes the process of asexual reproduction?

A hydra reproduces when an outgrowth, or bud, forms and continues to develop until if falls off of the parent. This is an example of:

This is when a new organism grows by cell division on the body of its parent. The bud, or offspring is identical to the parent. The bud, when large enough, can break off of the parent and live on its own. Examples of this include yeast, hydra and potatoes.

What type of asexual reproduction is taking place? Fishermen work hard to catch and remove all the starfish that get into their favorite shell fishing beds and the “underwater farms” where they raise clams and oysters. In the past, they put the starfish into their boats, cut them up with knives, and then throw the pieces of starfish overboard. They thought this would kill the starfish. What they did not know was that each piece of starfish will grow into a whole new animal.

How many parent(s)are needed for asexual?

When a starfish grows a new body off a broken arm, what kind of reproduction is this?

What are some of the facts about asexual reproduction?

This produces 2 identical cells.

Which type(s) of reproduction involves genetically unique offspring - a variety?

Which type(s) of reproduction involves offspring identical to the parent?

Which type(s) of reproduction produce offspring?

When an offspring grows off the body of the parent

What is an advantage of asexual reproduction?

Offspring are genetically identical to the one parent. Is this the result of sexual or asexual reproduction? And how would you characterize the offspring listed above?

What percentage of chromosomes are handed down by a parent cell in asexual reproduction?

What percentage of chromosomes are handed down by a parent cell in sexual reproduction?

Which of the following is not an advantage of asexual reproduction?

A type of reproduction in which the genetic materials from two different cells combine, producing an offspring

All of the offspring of an organism have the same genetic material, which is identical to the parent organism. From this, we can conclude that this organism -

What are some of the facts about sexual reproduction?

The offspring from asexually reproduced organisms are?

If two organisms reproduce sexually, then their offspring will exhibit a genetic makeup that is -

Organism produces offspring without fertilization
