B) It is only half of the amount of DNA found in the parent.
C) It is identical.
D) It has some similarities and some differences.

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

  • 6. What process creates gametes for sexual reproduction?
A) mitosis
B) meiosis
C) crossing over
D) independent assortment
  • 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) Crossing over and independent assortment mix up the DNA from the mother and father.
D) Two parents contribute DNA.

A) binary fission
B) budding
C) sexual
D) asexual
  • 9. When is being genetically identical to the parent an advantage for organisms?
A) When the environment is just like the one the parent lived in successfully.
B) When no mates can be found.
C) When many offspring are needed in a short amount of time.
D) When the enviroment is changing and fast reproduction is needed.
  • 10. If organisms cannot adapt to changing environmental conditions, what is likely to happen to the species?
