Sexual and asexual reproduction, selective breeding, natural selection - CMS

QuestionAnswer
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
