3. How many parents are required for sexual reproduction?
a. 0

c. 2
d. 3
4. All of the offspring of an organism have the same genetic material, which is identical to the parent
organism. From this, we can conclude that this organism -
a. makes its own food
b. is unicellular
c. live in a marine habitat
d. reproduces asexually
5. A type of reproduction in which the genetic materials from two different cells combine, producing an
offspring
a. Asexual Reproduction
b. Sexual Reproduction
c. Scientific Reproduction
d. Artificial Reproduction
6. What are some of the facts about asexual reproduction?
a. Takes only one mate to reproduce and takes a longer time to reproduce
b. Takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce and it takes two mates to reproduce
c. Reproduces diverse offspring and takes a longer time to reproduce
d. Takes only one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter time to reproduce
7. What are some of the facts about sexual reproduction?
a. Takes two mates to reproduce and takes a longer time to reproduce
b. Takes one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce
c. Takes two mates to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce
d. Takes one mate to reproduce and takes a shorter amount of time to reproduce
8. What is an advantage of sexual reproduction?
a. Allows genetic variation
b. Only needs one parent
c. Happens very quickly
d. Offspring are exact copies of parent
9. What is one disadvantage of sexual reproduction?
a. Only one parent needed
b. Off spring are exact copies of parents

d. Needs two parents
10. When a starfish grows a new body off a broken arm, what kind of reproduction is this?
a. Sexual
b. Differentiation
c. Asexual
d. Specialization
11. What type of asexual reproduction is taking place?
Fishermen work hard to catch and remove all the starfish that get into their favorite shell fishing beds
and the “underwater farms” where they raise clams and oysters. In the past, they put the starfish into
their boats, cut them up with knives, and then throw the pieces of starfish overboard. They thought
this would kill the starfish. What they did not know was that each piece of starfish will grow into a
whole new animal.
a. Regeneration
b. Vegetative propagation
c. Budding
d. Fission
12. The offspring from asexually reproduced organisms are?
a. Different than their parents
b. Identical to parents
c. Like a combination from both parents
d. A different species
13. If two organisms reproduce sexually, then their offspring will exhibit a genetic makeup that is -
a. identical to only one parent
b. identical to all of its siblings
c. a unique combination of traits
d. the recessive traits of each parent
14. Requires only one parent
a. sexual
b. asexual
c. triple
d. sponge
15. Requires two parents
a. sexual
b. triple
c. sponge
d. asexual
