instructions: choose the correct answer and place it in station #7 of your passport.

1. what type of reproduction creates identical offspring?

a) sexual reproduction
b) asexual reproduction
c) both types
d) neither type

1. which best describes offspring from asexual reproduction?

a) always different from parent
b) similar to both parents
c) identical to single parent
d) half of parents traits

1. how many parents are needed for asexual reproduction?

a) none
b) one
c) two
d) three

1. why do most plants use both sexual and asexual reproduction?

a) to grow faster only
b) to make more seeds only
c) because they have to
d) to get benefits of both methods

1. which is an advantage of sexual reproduction?

a) genetic variation
b) faster reproduction
c) identical offspring
d) simpler process

1. which organism uses budding to reproduce?

a) dogs
b) cats
c) eagles
d) hydra

1. what do offspring from asexual reproduction inherit?

a) mixed traits from two parents
b) exact copy of one parents dna
c) new traits
d) few traits

1. when is sexual reproduction most helpful?

a) in changing environments
b) when making exact copies
c) in stable environments
d) when reproducing quickly

1. what happens in asexual reproduction?

a) two parents combine dna
b) one parent copies its dna
c) dna is lost
d) dna changes randomly

1. which is true about sexual reproduction?

a) creates identical offspring
b) needs only one parent
c) always produces males
d) combines genetic material

Explanation:

1. Asexual reproduction produces genetically - identical offspring. Sexual reproduction involves the combination of genetic material from two parents, creating non - identical offspring.
2. Offspring from asexual reproduction are clones of the single parent, so they are identical to the single parent.
3. Asexual reproduction requires only one parent.
4. Plants use both sexual and asexual reproduction to take advantage of the benefits of each method, such as genetic variation from sexual reproduction and rapid reproduction from asexual reproduction.
5. An advantage of sexual reproduction is genetic variation due to the combination of genetic material from two parents.
6. Hydra reproduces by budding, which is a form of asexual reproduction.
7. Offspring from asexual reproduction inherit an exact copy of one parent's DNA.
8. Sexual reproduction is beneficial in changing environments as it provides genetic variation for adaptation.
9. In asexual reproduction, one parent copies its DNA to produce offspring.
10. Sexual reproduction combines genetic material from two parents.

Answer:

1. b) Asexual reproduction
2. c) Identical to single parent
3. b) One
4. d) To get benefits of both methods
5. a) Genetic variation
6. d) Hydra
7. b) Exact copy of one parent's DNA
8. a) In changing environments
9. b) One parent copies its DNA
10. d) Combines genetic material
