7.1 & 7.2 QUIZ on Types of reproduction & Cell Divsion

The diagram represents reproduction in a yeast cell. The genes in the bud are identical to the genes in the parent.

This type of production of offspring is a form of

• sexual reproduction

• asexual reproduction

• genetic engineering

• gene manipulation

The diagram below illustrates reproduction in yeast.

Yeast produce offspring that usually have

• genes that are different from those of the parent

• genes that are identical to those of the parent

• half of the genetic information of the parent

• nuclei that are different from the parent

One of the largest and oldest organisms on Earth is located in Fishlake National Forest in Utah. Pando is an 80,000-year-old grove of aspen trees that covers 100 acres. Although it looks like a forest, DNA analysis of several of the "trees" has confirmed it is really just one huge organism. Therefore, the "trees" must have been reproduced

• sexually and have genetic variability

• asexually and have genetic variability

• sexually and are genetically identical

• asexually and are genetically identical

Potatoes are an example of a crop that can be reproduced asexually. One potato will produce a number of "eyes," which are sprouts that can grow into new plants. A potato with four eyes can be cut into four pieces, and each piece can be used to produce an individual potato plant.

One likely disadvantage of growing potatoes cloned in this way, year after year, would be that

• after a few years, the potatoes would stop producing eyes altogether, so no potatoes could be grown in the garden

• the potatoes produced each succeeding year would get larger and larger, eventually being too big for use as food

• the cost for growing your own potatoes in the garden would be greatly reduced

• a potato plant could become infected with a disease, and it could easily spread to the

  entire crop, killing all of the plants

The paramecium is a single-celled organism that reproduces asexually. The offspring of a paramecium usually contain

• only half of the genes of the parent cells

• more DNA than the parent cell

• genetic material identical to that of the parent cell

• fewer mutations than the parent cell

A pattern of reproduction and growth in a one-celled organism is shown below.

Which statement best describes this pattern of reproduction?

• All genetic material comes from one parent.

• The size of the parent determines the amount of genetic material.

• Only some of the genetic material comes from one parent.

• The size of the parent determines the source of the genetic material.

Which phrases best identify characteristics of asexual reproduction?

• one parent, union of gametes, offspring similar to but not genetically identical to the parent

• one parent, no union of gametes, offspring genetically identical to parents

• two parents, union of gametes, offspring similar to but not genetically identical to parents

• two parents, no union of gametes, offspring genetically identical to parents
