| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a disadvantage of asexual reproduction? | There is less genetic variation |
| Is growing crops to be resistant to diseases an example of selective breeding? | Yes |
| Are fish blending in with their surroundings an example of selective breeding? | No |
| Are birds growing beaks best suited for their environment an example of selective breeding? | No |
| The best adapted individuals survive and reproduce to contribute genes to the next generation is called ______ | natural selection |
| Is a rabbit born with one less leg which will make it slower against predators an example of natural selection? | No |
| Is a butterfly born with bigger wings allowing it to fly faster against hungry birds an example of natural selection? | Yes |
| Is a rabbit getting covered in mud helping it hide against wolves an example of natural selection? | No |
| The process of humans breeding plants or animals with specific traits is _____ | selective breeding |
| In sexual reproduction, where do genes come from? | Both mother and father |
| Phases of mitosis from beginning to end | Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase |
| Mitosis, meiosis or both? Occurs in body (somatic) cells | Mitosis |
| Mitosis, meiosis or both? Occurs in sex/reproductive cells (gametes) | Meiosis |
| Mitosis, meiosis or both? A type of cell division | Both |
| Mitosis, meiosis or both? Sexual reproduction | meiosis |
| Mitosis, meiosis or both? asexual reproduction | mitosis |
| Mitosis, meiosis or both? one cell at the beginning of division | Both |
| Mitosis, meiosis or both? Gives an outcome of varied or diverse offspring | meiosis |
| Mitosis, meiosis or both? The offspring's genetic information is exactly like the parent | mitosis |
| What is the reason that human skin cells undergo mitosis frequently? | to replace dead or damaged skin cells |
| Why is genetic diversity important? | Having a variety of traits in your population makes you adaptable to changing environments |
| The biggest advantage to sexual reproduction is | creates genetic diversity |
| Which form of reproduction involves sperm and egg? | Sexual reproduction |
| What is a trait or behavior that happens over time that helps an organism survive and function better in its environment? | Adaptation |
| Natural selection or selective breeding? A Labradoodle is created by scientists to be hypoallergenic but still look like a Labrador. | Selective breeding |
| Natural selection or selective breeding? The process happens due to environmental activity. | Natural Selection |
| Natural selection or selective breeding? It takes place over a relatively long period of time. | Natural Selection |
| Natural selection or selective breeding? Humans have a decision in the outcome of the offspring. | Selective Breeding |
| Natural selection or selective breeding? Excessive warmer temperatures in a region have caused rabbits with longer fur to slowly disappear. | Natural Selection |
| Natural selection or selective breeding? It takes place over a relatively short period of time. | Selective Breeding |
| What is the male sex cell called? | Sperm |
| What is the female sex cell called? | Egg |
| A type of asexual reproduction when organisms divide in half and replicate their genetic material | Binary fission |
| A type of asexual reproduction where an organism develops an outgrowth that is then detached from the parent to become a new individual | budding |
| A type of asexual reproduction where the organism produces its own spores | sporulation |
| A type of asexual reproduction that helps repair or grow lost body parts | regeneration |
| a type of asexual reproduction that the new organism is created from roots, stems or leaves | vegetative propagation |
