What two things do sexual reproduction need in order to occur?

What is a sperm and egg?

100

How many parents are needed for asexual reproduction to occur?

What is 1 parent cell is needed?

100

How many parents are needed for sexual reproduction to occur?

2 parents (1 egg, 1 sperm) are needed

100
Name an advantage of asexual reproduction?
Only needs one parent, happens very quickly, offspring are clones of parents, successful characteristics are guaranteed, requires less energy and time
100
Name a disadvantage of asexual reproduction.
Lack of variation, organisms are more susceptible to diseases, organisms are less likely to adapt to new environments
200

What is genetics?

What is the study of heredity

200

Are the daughter cells exactly the same as or different from the parent cells?

What is exactly the same (uniform offspring)

200

Are the offspring exactly the same or different from the parents? Why?

What is the offspring are different because they get traits from the father and the mother.

200
Name an advantage of sexual reproduction.
Lots of variation can occur, Variations can help organisms to survive in new environments, Help to protect entire populations from being killed by diseases
200
Name a disadvantage of sexual reproduction.
Organisms/Cells take a longer time to mature, Must have a mate (2 parents), Gametes (sperm/egg) can be lost, Takes more energy and time
300

What is uniform offspring?

What is offspring genetically identical to the parent

300

What type of asexual reproduction did we say spongebob uses?

What is budding

300

Why can plants reproduce sexually?

What is because they have male (sperm) and female (egg) parts

300

Which type of reproduction can occur very quickly?

Asexual Reproduction

300
Which type of reproduction takes more time and energy? Why?
Sexual Reproduction because it takes more time for cells to mature and organisms to be fully formed (made of many cells)
400

What are inherited traits?

What is a characteristic that is passed from parents to offspring. 

400
Which type of asexual reproduction do most bacteria use?
Binary Fission
400

What is an organism where the male carries the baby instead of the female?

What is a seahorse

400
Which type of reproduction creates organisms with a lot of variations? Why
Sexual Reproduction because the offspring get characteristics from both parents, rather than just one parent.
400
Which type of reproduction lacks variation?
Asexual Reproduction because the cells are exactly the same as the original parent cell.
500

What is a stimulus?

What is anything that can trigger a physical or behavioral change?

500

Name three types of asexual reproduction

What is Binary Fission, Budding, and Spores

500

What is the purpose of sexual reproduction?

What is ensure the survival (future generations) of an organism

500
Which type of reproduction creates organisms that would have an easier time adjusting to a new environment? Why?
Sexual Reproduction because there are more variations amongst the organisms created.
500
Which type of reproduction is more susceptible to disease (more likely to die of disease)? Why?
Asexual Reproduction because the cells are all the same and are more likely to die if a disease spreads.
