A. budding sperm cell. What do we call this cell
B. fragmentation containing a single set of chromosomes?
C. transverse fission A. Diploid
D. parthenogenesis B. Haploid
C. Both B and C
13. It involves direct reproduction in D. None of the above
which each portion regenerates missing
parts to become a complete new animal 15. When a sperm cell containing 23
depending on the axis of separation chromosomes fuse with an egg cell with 23
A. budding chromosomes they produce a zygote with 46
B. fragmentation chromosomes. What is referred to this cell
C. transverse fission having the complete sets of chromosome?
D. Parthenogenesis A. Diploid
B. Haploid
C. Both a and b
D. None of the above

14. In humans, there are 23 number of

chromosomes present in their egg cell or
True or False. classify if the statement is correct or not as related to the descriptions of sexual
reproduction in animals. Write True if it is correct and False if incorrect on your paper.

__________1. Offspring are different from the
parent organism.
__________2. This process creates a variety
of genetic make-up which is the driving force
behind evolution.
__________3. Sexual reproduction requires
three parents.
__________4. Asexual reproduction produces
a greater chance of variation within a species
than sexual reproduction would.
__________5. This variation improves the
chances that a species will adapt to his
environment and survive.
__________6. Only one sperm can fertilize an
egg cell.
__________7. Egg cell in human has 46
chromosomes.
__________8. Sperm cell in human has 23
chromosomes.
__________9. In sexual reproduction, not only
do you need two gametes for fertilization, one
has to be male, the other female.
__________10. Genetic “errors” happen more
frequently because meiosis is more complex
than mitosis and diploid organisms have more
chromosomes to double.
