During meiosis, the pairs copy themselves twice. C. They multiply during mitosis. D. Half of a pair comes from each parent to make one full pair. 14. Reproduction in which a new organism is produced when sex cells combine is called ________. A. fertilization B. sexual reproduction C. chromosomes D. asexual reproduction The result of meiosis is Technology Enhanced Items are not supported on PDF test booklets. daughter cells. 16. Scientists are genetically testing a newly discovered organism. If all the offspring of the organism receive all the genetic information from one parent, then the organism most likely reproduced through which type of reproduction? A. Sexual Reproduction B. Asexual Reproduction C. Fertilization D. Meiosis Daffodil Reproduction Sexual reproduction involves the combining of genetic information from two different parents. Offspring of sexual reproduction receive 50% of Look at the image. their DNA from their mother and 50% of their DNA from their father.

DNA. Plants that reproduce asexually can do so by sending out genetically identical ‘runners’. Some also have underground bulbs that can split to form identical copies. Daffodils are flowering plants that can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Daffodil Reproduction Sexual reproduction involves the combining of genetic information from two different parents.

In sexually reproducing plants, the female reproductive cell is called an ovum or egg. The male reproductive cell is called pollen. In Bees are important pollinators. How much flowering plants, an ovum and pollen combine DNA will a new plant that was created in a process called fertilization; this is the through pollination, fertilization, and beginning of a brand-new organism with a germination get from the ‘mother' plant? unique set of genes that are a combination of both parents. A. 10% Asexual reproduction involves an organism B. 25% making an exact copy of itself; it does not result in an organism with a unique combination of C. 50% DNA. Plants that reproduce asexually can do so D. 100% by sending out genetically identical ‘runners’. Some also have underground bulbs that can split to form identical copies. Daffodils are flowering plants that can reproduce both sexually and asexually. 19. What is one advantage of sexual reproduction? A. The offspring are identical to the parents. B. The offspring are born live, rather than from eggs. C. The offspring inherit a wider variety of genetic information. D. The offspring are resistant to viruses. 20. A gardener grew a sweet pea plant that produces purple flowers. She found that the seeds of this plant, when grown, produced some plants with white flowers and some with purple flowers. What can be a reason for the production of plants with white flowers? A. Sexual reproduction causes offspring to inherit traits from parents slowly. B. Sexual reproduction causes genetic variation in offspring. C. Asexual reproduction introduces new traits in offspring. D. Asexual reproduction results in the formation of a new species. 21. What is sexual reproduction? A. Reproduction in which two sex cells join to form a zygote. B. Cell division in which each cell gets a copy of the original chromosomes. C. Reproduction in which a single parent produces genetically identical offspring. D. Cell division that produces identical cells. 22. In sexual reproduction, two parents each provide 50% of the genetic material to form an offspring. In asexual reproduction, only one parent is required to form an offspring. In what ways would the offspring of each type of reproduction resemble the parent organism(s)? A. In sexual reproduction, the offspring will have genetic traits of both parents, while in asexual reproduction the offspring will be genetically identical to the parent. B. In sexual reproduction, the offspring will have genetic traits of both parents and any environmental factors experienced, while in asexual reproduction the offspring will be genetically identical to the parent. C. In sexual reproduction the offspring will have genetic traits of both parents, while in asexual reproduction the offspring will have identical copies of the parents' genes and any environmental factors experienced during formation. D. In sexual reproduction, the offspring will have the genetic traits of only one parent, while in asexual reproduction the offspring will have traits identical to the parent. 23.

Cell division is a fundamental process in living organisms, playing a crucial role in growth, development, and reproduction. The two primary types of cell division, mitosis and meiosis, serve different purposes and are essential for maintaining life. How is cellular division associated with reproduction? - Explain the relationship between the cell division process of mitosis and reproduction. - Be sure to explain mitosis, identify and explain the type of reproduction it is associated with, and the connection between them. - Explain the relationship between the cell division process of meiosis and reproduction. - Be sure to explain meiosis, identify and explain the type of reproduction it is associated with, and the connection between them.
