Only one parent plant is required A strawberry plant reproduces asexually by producing runners which allows a botanist to take cuttings and replant. What is one advantage of asexual reproduction? Only one parent plant is required The plants will always be much larger than the parent plant The strawberry plant gets genetic material from both of its parents The genetic material varies in each new plant A

Has the exact same genetic makeup of the parents The Bryophyllum is a plant that reproduces asexually via new shoots from leaves. This means the offspring from Bryophyllum – Has the exact same genetic makeup of the parents Takes genetic material from both parents Varies by taking some traits from the mother and some from the father plants. Will take half of the genetic material from both parents so will produce a smaller plant A

Part of the worm will look like the mother and part like the father. Some types of tiny worms reproduce asexually by fragmentation. Fragmentation occurs when these worms spontaneously break up into 8 or 9 pieces. Each of these fragments develops into a mature worm and the process is repeated. You would expect – Part of the worm will look like the mother and part like the father. The worms will be genetically identical to the parent. The worms will be a mutation from the parent worms. The worms will be genetically different than the parents. B

Genetically identical Which of the following describes the chart in order? a. Sexual, sexual, asexual, asexual b. Sexual, sexual, asexual, sexual c. Asexual, asexual, asexual, sexual d. Asexual, sexual, asexual, sexual Species A Species B Species C Species D Genetically identical One parent needed No variation of species More easily deals with environmental changes C

a. No variation in species b. Genetic variation in species Students were taking note on sexual and asexual reproduction. The student filling out her notes above forgot to fill in one box. What is the missing information? a. No variation in species b. Genetic variation in species c. Genetic material is taken from only one parent d. Species suffers more from diseases Asexual Sexual One parent One or more offspring produced Passes on diseases ? Reproduces in a short period of time 2 parents Two or more offspring produced Reproduction can take several months to complete B

What information is missing in the Venn diagram above? One parent, produces offspring, genetic variation Multiple parents, no genetic variation, Less disease resistant Develops more slowly, produces offspring, two parents Genetic variation, produces offspring, one parent
