Play This Game


Sexual Reproduction
#1

Name 5 organism types that go through sexual reproduction

Examples:

 

Mammals 

Fish

Amphibians

Reptiles

Birds

 

#2

Meiosis is the process of sexual reproduction. What are the cells that meiosis makes called?

Gametes

#3

What is Fertilization?

The joining of an egg and sperm cell

#4

What kinds of cells does meiosis make?

Only sex cells

#5

What is a mutation?

The offspring has a different trait than it's parents.

Asexual Reproduction
#1

Name 3 types of organism that go through Asexual reproduction

Examples:

Plants

Bacteria

Sponges

Hydra

 

 

#2

What types of cells does mitosis make?

All cells but sex cells

#3

How many daughter cells does mitosis make?

2 daughter cells

#4

How many chromosomes does an asexual daughter cell have?

The same amount as the parent

#5

What are the four forms of Asexual Reproduction?

Budding, Fragmentation, Binary Fission, Mitosis

Advantages Vs. Disadvantage
#1

Is gentic diversity an advantage or disadvantage to sexual reproduction?

Advantage

#2

What is an advantage to genetic diversity?

It gives the offspring different traits so they don't look exactly like either one of their parents.

#3

What takes more time to have offspring, sexual or asexual reproduction?

Sexual

#4

What is a big disadvantage to not having genetic diversity?

Bacteria could get into the parent and kill it, but if the bacteria passes down to the offspring, the offspring will also die.

#5

Name an advantage and disadvantage to both sexual and asexual reproduction

Sexual-    Advantage:Genetic Diversity

               Disadvantage:Takes two parents

 

Asexual-  Advantage: Only needs 1 parent

              Disadvantage: Lacks diversity

Differences
#1

What is the difference between Asexual and Sexual Reproduction?

Asexual requires one parent while Sexual requires two.

#2

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Meiosis makes only sex cells and mitosis makes all cells but sex cells.

#3

What reproduction uses mitosis?

Asexual Reproduction

#4

What are the differences between phenotype and genotypes?

Phenotypes are the physical appearance and genotypes are the genetic make-up

#5

What is the difference between budding and fragmentation?

Budding is the reproduction from growing off of the parent and splitting apart while fragmentation is when the parent breaks into multiple pieces to form a new cell.

Probability and Heredity
#1

Who was the father of Heredity?

Gregor Mendel

#2

What did Mendel use for his experiments?

Pea Plants

#3

Who invented the Punnet Square?

Reginold Punnet

#4

What is the definition of heredity?

The passing of physical appearance from parents to offspring

#5

What are the possibilites of traits if the parents are Aa and aa?

Aa Aa aa aa

Final Question

What is the definition of Binary Fission?

It is the division of cells into two or more pieces and then regenarates into cells.
