Types of Asexual Reproduction

Which of the following are involved in asexual reproduction?

• sperm

• meiosis

• fertilization

• none of them

How does the DNA of the offspring formed from asexual reproduction compare to the parent?

• none of the DNA is transferred to the offspring

• the DNA of the offspring is identical to the DNA of the parent

• half of the DNA is transferred to the offspring

• none of these are correct

Cell division in prokaryotes that forms two genetically identical cells.

• cloning

• budding

• fission

• regeneration

Which types of organisms typically reproduce by fission?

• hydra

• planaria

• bacteria

• plants

When a new organism grows by mitosis and cell division on the body of its parent.

• budding

• fission

• regeneration

• vegetative propagation

Occurs when an animal offspring grows from a piece of its parent.

• fission

• vegetative

• budding

• regeneration

An example of an organisms that can typically reproduce through regeneration.

• sea stars

• sponges

• planarians

• all of them

A form of asexual reproduction in which offspring grow from a part of a parent plant.

• cloning

• budding

• regeneration

• vegetative propagation

Which of these IS a disadvantage of asexual reproduction?

• Results in too much genetic variation in a population

• Enables organisms to produce large amounts of offspring

• Results in little genetic variation within a population

• Requires less time

All Offspring of Asexual reproduction are identical

• True

• False
