Question 1

1.

Sea stars (starfish) can reproduce asexually by fragmentation if their arms are cut off, or sexually by releasing sperm and eggs into the water. Which of these is the major difference between asexual and sexual reproduction in sea star?

The number of chromosomes in increased in sea stars during sexual reproduction

There is genetic variation in the sea stars as a results of sexual reproduction

The chromosome number is reduced in sea stars during asexual reproduction

The appearance of the sea stars is changed as a result of asexual reproduction

Question 2

2.

Which term is associated with asexual rather than sexual reproduction?

conjugation

zygote

binary fission

alternation of generations

Question 3

3.

Starfish are capable of growing a new starfish from a single arm if it is bitten off by a fish or pulled off by force. This type of asexual reproduction is called?

alternation of generations

binary fission

budding

fragmentation

Question 4

4.

Georgia is home to animals such as the Eastern chipmunk. Individuals within this species are not genetically identical. This variability is primarily the result of

asexual reproduction and mutation

meiosis and recombination

mitosis and selective breeding

sexual reproduction and cloning

Question 5

5.

The axolotl, also known as the Mexican walking fish, can regenerate parts of its body, such as a leg or a tail. The regeneration of these parts involves the process of

selective breeding

mitosis cell division

biotechnology

fertilization

Question 6

6.

	Asexual reproduction	Sexual reproduction	Both
Creates genetically different offspring
Creates identical offspring
2 parents
1 parent
Creates offspring
fragmentation & binary fission

Question 7

7.

__________ can be considered asexual reproduction, while __________ can be considered key for sexual reproduction 

Question 8

8.

Which kingdoms are capable of both asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction? Select all

Kingdom Fungi

Kingdom Archaebacteria 

Kingdom Plantae

Kingdom Eubacteria 

Kingdom Protista

Kingdom Animalia

Question 9

9.

Mycelium is a fundamental part of fungi and plays a crucial role in their life cycle and ecological functions. It refers to the vegetative, branching network of fine filaments called hyphae that collectively form the body of a fungus. Mycelium is typically found underground, within the substrate it's feeding on, or within decaying organic matter. Mycelium can also reproduce ___________________ through fragmentation. Portions of the mycelium can break off and grow independently, developing into new mycelial colonies. This method is common in fungi that grow in favorable conditions and need to quickly expand their population.

Asexual

Sexual

Question 10

10.

A plant commonly referred to as “Mother of Thousands” has lost its ability to produce seeds. In order to reproduce, the edges of the plant’s leaves asexually develop miniature plants that drop off and grow into mature plants. The cells of the offspring would have

half the genetic information, when compared to cells of the parent plant’s leaves

the same genetic information, when compared to cells of the parent plant

twice as much genetic information as is present in the cells of the parent plant

incomplete genetic information, because the parent plant does not produce seeds
