Name: __________________________
___1. Asexual reproduction involves
only one parent and results in offspring that are very
different from the parent.
two parents and results in offspring that are identical to
one parent.
two parents and results in offspring that are different
from both parents.
only one parent and results in offspring that are
identical to the parent.
___2. Offspring that are produced through sexual
reproduction are usually similar, but never identical, to
their parents. This is because
all of the offspring's genes only come from one parent
or the other.
genes are not transferred between parents and
offspring during sexual reproduction.
genes mutate during every occurrence of sexual
reproduction.
half of the offspring's genes come from one parent
while the other half comes from the other parent.
___3. Which is an advantage of sexual reproduction
over asexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction produces more diversity.
Sexual reproduction produces more offspring.
Sexual reproduction is quicker and less complex.
Sexual reproduction never produces genetic defects.
___4. Mammals reproduce through a process called
sexual reproduction. During this process, which involves
two parents,
a female egg cell and a male sperm cell each develop
separately into an offspring that is different from both
parents.
a female egg cell and a male sperm cell each develop
separately into an offspring that is identical to its parent.
a female egg cell combines with a male sperm cell to
make an offspring that is identical to one of the parents.
a female egg cell combines with a male sperm cell to
make an offspring that is different from both parents.
___5. Each organism's sex cells contain _______ of the
organism's genetic information.
half
2 copies
none
all

strands of DNA and proteins that carry the genes and
functions in the transmission of hereditary information
for living organisms?

cells
mutations
chlorophyll
A.
B.
C.
D.
___11. What gets passed from one cell to another in
sexual reproduction?

___18. In a certain breed of cats, having black hair is the
result of two dominant alleles for hair color (HH). The
heterozygous genotype (Hh) produces a cat that has
black and white spots. Having two recessive (hh) genes
results in a white-haired cat. The Punnett square below
shows the results of a cross between which two cats?

two spotted cats
two black cats
___19. Examine the pedigree below.
Look at the pedigree chart above. The squares are the
male members of the family, and the circles are the
female members of the family.
Squares or circles that are all black are nearsighted
members. Squares or circles that are all white have
normal vision. Squares or circles that are part black are
family members who carry the gene for
nearsightedness but are not nearsighted.

have the gene for nearsightedness?
2
3
