AH Biology 2.3 - Variation and Sex

Which form of reproduction leads to greater genetic variation?

• Sexual Reproduction

• Asexual Reproduction

Which form of reproduction is more likely to result in offspring with the ability to adapt to changing conditions?

• Sexual Reproduction

• Asexual Reproduction

Which form of reproduction is best to establish a large colony size over a short period of time?

• Sexual Reproduction

• Asexual Reproduction

Which form of reproduction leads to no genetic variation?

• Sexual Reproduction

• Asexual Reproduction

Which of the following is a method of reproduction from a female gamete without fertilisation?

• The Red Queen Hypothesis

• Parthenogeneis

• Meiosis

• Hermaphrodites

Which of the following names is given to pairs of chromosomes which are the same size?

• Homologous Pairs

• Homozygous Pairs

• Heterozygous Pairs

• Homogeneous Pairs

The process of Meiosis results in

• Haploid gametes

• Diploid gametes

Which of the following is not usually found in Homologous chromosomes?

• They are the same size

• They have the same centromere position

• They have the same sequence of genes at the same loci

• They have different genes at the same loci

During Meiosis, one diploid gamete mother cell results in

• 1 haploid daughter cell

• 2 haploid daughter cells

• 3 haploid daughter cells

• 4 haploid daughter cells

Where does the 'crossing over' of homologous pairs occur?

• The chiasmata

• The centromere

• The loci

• The required section of genes
