Genetics and Reproduction

Yeast reproduce by developing tiny extensions on their bodies. This is an example of

• budding

• binary fission

• regeneration

• sexual reproduction

Bacteria and other single celled organisms reproduce through a process called

• budding

• binary fission

• regeneration

• sexual reproduction

All types of sexual reproduction produces an organism that

• has characteristics from both parents

• has characteristics of one parent but not the other

• is genetically identical to the parent

• has half the DNA as the parent

Gametes (sex cells) have

• the same number of chromosomes as body cells

• twice as many chromosomes as body cells

• half the number of chromosomes as body cells

• varying numbers of chromosomes depending on the type of cell made

During sexual reproduction

• a body cell from each parent combines to form a new cell

• a gamete (sex cell) from each parent combines to form a new cell

• recessive genes combine to form an offspring

• dominant genes combine to form an offspring

When body cells (ex: skin cells) divide to create new cells, the number of chromosomes in a daughter cell is

• half the number of the parent cell

• one quarter the number of the parent cell

• twice the number of the parent cell

• the same number as the parent cell

If a lizard loses its tail, the tail can regrow through

• budding

• binary fission

• healing

• regeneration

Chromosomes are structures that occur in pairs and are made up of many segments called

• genes

• gametes

• heredity factors

• traits

When sexual reproduction occurs, the offspring has

• traits that match the male parent but not the female parent

• traits that match the female parent but not the male parent

• traits that match both parents

• traits that do not match either parent

Sexual reproduction in plants requires

• only a female gamete

• only a male gamete

• a female and a male gamete

• leaves and stems
