Reproductionn
Offspring that come from sexual reproduction have ________ sets of DNA from each parent.
Offspring that come from sexual reproduction have DIFFERENT sets of DNA from each parent.
_______ code for _______ which create our _________.
Word Bank: Traits, proteins, genes
Genes code for proteins which create our traits.
Which of the following should NOT be included in an explanation of asexual reproduction?
a) Offspring from asexual reproduction are identical to the parent
b) Asexual reproduction happens when an organism divides into two new organisms.
c) DNA from two parents combine to make a new set of DNA in an offspring.
In an explanation of asexual reproduction, you should not include information about how sexual reproduction works.
c) DNA from two parents combine to make a new set of DNA in an offspring.
True or False: Offspring born from sexual reproduction have all of the traits of both parents.
False! Offspring born from sexual reproduction have a COMBINATION of traits from both parents.
Our traits come from two sources, what are they?
In an experiment, there is a control group of plants that doesn't get experimented on. There is still differences in the control group of plants and one plant grows very tall. Why might this happen?
There is still genetic variations between plants so that particular plant has a genetic trait to grow taller.
In asexual reproduction, an organism divides into two new organism. Each new organism has _________ DNA to the original organism.
In asexual reproduction, an organism divides into two new organism. Each new organism has IDENTICAL DNA.
If two organisms have different traits, they must have different _______.
If two organisms have different traits, they must have different genes/proteins.
Fertilizer causes some plants to grow taller and weigh more, but they have less leaves.
True or False: If you wanted a plant with more leaves, you should use more fertilizer.
FALSE! The use of fertilizer reduced the number of leaves, so you should use a different species of that plant if you want more leaves.
What type of reproduction has more genetic variation in offspring?
Sexual reproduction results in more genetic variation than asexual reproduction.
Genetic variations in organisms that reproduce asexually are a result of __________.
Genetic variations in organisms that reproduce asexually are a result of mutations.
Which of the following should be included in an explanation of sexual reproduction?
a) Asexual reproduction makes offspring that are identical to the parent.
b) Sexual reproduction results in more genetic variation in offspring
c) Organisms can divide in two and make a copy of themselves with the same genetic information.
If you wanted to explain sexual reproduction, you shouldn't include information about asexual reproduction.
b) Sexual reproduction results in more genetic variation in offspring
True or False: Sexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parents.
FALSE! Sexual reproduction results in offspring with a combination of genetics from the parents.
Genes can change over time, but MOST of our genetic information comes from ____________.
Genes can change over time, but MOST of our genetic information comes from our parents.
Which of the following should NOT be included in an explanation of sexual reproduction?
a) Sexual reproduction causes genetic variation in offspring
b) Offspring in sexual reproduction are a combination of the DNA from each parent.
c) Sexual reproduction results in offspring genetically identical to the parents
If you wanted to explain sexual reproduction, you shouldn't include incorrect information about sexual reproduction!
c) Sexual reproduction results in offspring genetically identical to the parents
