Which of the following statements about the life cycle of flowering plants is true?
Flowering plants have a dominant sporophyte stage in their life cycle. Which of the following statements about sexual reproduction is true?
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes to form a zygote. A human gamete contains how many chromosomes?
A human gamete contains 23 chromosomes. What are two disadvantages of asexual reproduction?
Two disadvantages of asexual reproduction are lack of genetic diversity and reduced adaptability. Which of the following is a disadvantage for sexual reproduction?
A disadvantage for sexual reproduction is the requirement for a mate. Which process is directly responsible for producing a zygote during alternation of generations?
Fertilization is directly responsible for producing a zygote during alternation of generations. Which of the following is true of asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring. Sexual reproduction involves which type of cell division?
Sexual reproduction involves meiosis to produce gametes. Which of the following statements about the types of reproduction is true?
Sexual reproduction results in genetic diversity, while asexual reproduction produces clones. Which type of reproduction takes more effort?
Sexual reproduction generally takes more effort due to the need for finding a mate. What is one advantage of asexual reproduction?
One advantage of asexual reproduction is the ability to reproduce quickly without a mate. What is the advantage of asexual reproduction?
The advantage of asexual reproduction is rapid reproduction without the need for a mate. Which statement is true for asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring. How do asexual and sexual reproduction compare?
Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces clones, while sexual reproduction involves two parents and results in genetic diversity. Which of the following is true of the life cycle of bryophytes?
In the life cycle of bryophytes, the gametophyte is the dominant stage. After pollination, what occurs in the plant life cycle?
After pollination, fertilization occurs, leading to the formation of seeds. How is sexual reproduction different from asexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction involves two parents and genetic recombination, while asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces genetically identical offspring. Which two plant structures would be involved in reproduction?
Flowers and cones are two plant structures involved in reproduction. Which of the following is not a type of asexual reproduction?
Conjugation is not a type of asexual reproduction. What are the 2 types of reproduction?
The two types of reproduction are sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. What are the differences between asexual and sexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces clones, while sexual reproduction involves two parents and results in genetic diversity. A zygote consists of how many cells?
A zygote initially consists of one cell. How many chromosomes does a gamete have?
A gamete has 23 chromosomes in humans. Which of the following is true about reproduction in flowering plants?
Reproduction in flowering plants involves the production of seeds through fertilization. Why might it be beneficial for sea stars to be able to reproduce both sexually and asexually?
It is beneficial for sea stars to reproduce both ways to ensure survival in varying environmental conditions and to increase genetic diversity. How do mollusks reproduce?
Mollusks can reproduce both sexually, through the fusion of gametes, and asexually, depending on the species. What is the disadvantage of sexual reproduction?
The disadvantage of sexual reproduction is the need for a mate, which can limit reproduction opportunities. Which set of terms represents a haploid/diploid pair?
Gametophyte/Sporophyte represents a haploid/diploid pair. The diploid phase of the life cycle is shortest in which of the following?
The diploid phase is shortest in organisms with a gametophyte-dominant life cycle, such as mosses. Which form of reproduction is thought to be best in a stable environment?
Asexual reproduction is thought to be best in a stable environment due to its efficiency and consistency. Which portion of the plant life cycle is haploid?
The gametophyte portion of the plant life cycle is haploid. Which of the following describes an advantage of internal fertilization over external fertilization?
An advantage of internal fertilization is increased protection of the developing embryo. What name is given to the host in which the parasite undergoes sexual reproduction?
The host in which the parasite undergoes sexual reproduction is called the definitive host. Which of these is a male gametophyte?
Pollen is a male gametophyte. What produces egg and sperm cells during the life cycle of a plant?
The gametophyte produces egg and sperm cells during the life cycle of a plant. How many chromosomes are in human gametes?
Human gametes contain 23 chromosomes. Which of the following is essential to the continuation of every species of living organisms?
Reproduction is essential to the continuation of every species of living organisms. Which is a disadvantage of sexual reproduction?
A disadvantage of sexual reproduction is the requirement for a mate. How many chromosomes are there in human gametes?
There are 23 chromosomes in human gametes. What is an advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction?
An advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction is increased genetic diversity.
