15 Questions
What is sexual reproduction?
Reproduction involving the combination of haploid gametes to form a diploid zygote
Where is sexual reproduction most common?
Multicellular eukaryotes
What type of organisms do not undergo sexual reproduction?
Prokaryotes
Which organisms can undergo sexual reproduction?
Animals, fungi, plants, and some unicellular eukaryotes
What is the result of sexual reproduction?
A zygote with two sets of chromosomes
Sexual reproduction involves a complex life cycle in which a gamete with a single set of chromosomes combines with another gamete to produce a zygote with two sets of chromosomes.
True
Sexual reproduction is typical in animals, but the number of chromosome sets and how that number changes in sexual reproduction varies among plants, fungi, and other eukaryotes.
True
Sexual reproduction is the most common life cycle in unicellular eukaryotes.
False
Sexual reproduction occurs in prokaryotes, such as bacteria and archaea.
False
Bacterial conjugation, transformation, and transduction are considered analogous to sexual reproduction in bacteria.
