Question

based on the characteristics of each mode of reproduction, identify each example or image as sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction.

1. type of reproduction that only requires one parent.
2. both parents contribute genetic information to the offspring.
3. more common mode of reproduction among larger, more complex organisms.

4.

1. type of reproduction that requires two parents (cells).
2. offspring have the exact genetic makeup of the parent.

7.

1. all organisms within kingdoms archaebacteria and eubacteria reproduce this way.
2. two parents contribute genetic information.
3. variation among organisms occurs as a result of this type of reproduction.
4. small, simple organisms tend to reproduce this way.
5. offspring inherit genetic information from both parents.
6. planarian
7. male and female bees mate while in flight.

Explanation:

1. Asexual reproduction involves a single - parent.
2. Sexual reproduction has two parents contributing genetic material.
3. Sexual reproduction is more common in larger, complex organisms.
4. The image shows a single - parent producing identical offspring, so it's asexual reproduction.
5. Requiring two parents is sexual reproduction.
6. Offspring with the same genetic makeup as the parent is asexual reproduction.
7. The image shows combination of genetic material from two parents, so it's sexual reproduction.
8. Bacteria (Archaebacteria and Eubacteria) reproduce asexually.
9. Two parents contributing genetic information is sexual reproduction.
10. Variation is a result of sexual reproduction.
11. Small, simple organisms often reproduce asexually.
12. Inheriting from both parents is sexual reproduction.
13. Planarian can reproduce asexually (by fragmentation).
14. Mating of male and female bees is sexual reproduction.
