A) It is identical.
B) It is only half of the amount of DNA found in the parent.
C) It has some similarities and some differences.
D) It is a mix of the parent's DNA.
  • 3. How many parents are required for asexual reproduction?
A) two
B) four

  • 4. In order to survive and reproduce organisms need to have what type of traits?
A) Traits favorable for survival.
B) Traits that make the the most attractive.
C) Traits that make them the smartest.
D) Traits like the parents.
  • 5. How can asexually reproducing organisms gain some genetic diversity?
A) mitosis

  • 6. What process creates gametes for sexual reproduction?
A) crossing over
B) independent assortment
C) mitosis
D) meiosis
  • 7. Why does the process the creates gametes also create genetic diversity?
A) Mitosis I and II mix up the DNA.
B) Prophase and anaphase mix up the DNA.
C) Two parents contribute DNA.
D) Crossing over and independent assortment mix up the DNA from the mother and father.

A) asexual
B) budding
C) sexual
D) binary fission
