  • Q1
    How does asexual reproduction compare to sexual reproduction in terms of time and energy efficiency?
    Asexual reproduction relies on complex mating rituals
    Asexual reproduction requires more time and energy
    Asexual reproduction is more time efficient and requires less energy
    Asexual reproduction is slower than sexual reproduction

  • Q2
    Why does sexual reproduction increase the likelihood of population survival in changing environments?
    Mating rituals are complicated
    Fewer individuals are produced
    Genetic clones make the population more resistant
    Genetic variation allows for adaptability to changing conditions

  • Q3
    What is the genetic basis for determining the features of a living organism?
    Proteins
    Lipids
    DNA
    Carbohydrates
    30s
  • Q4
    Why are offspring from sexual reproduction genetically unique?
    Offspring inherit identical DNA from both parents
    Each gamete is genetically unique and combines randomly during fertilization
    Offspring receive predetermined sections of DNA from each parent
    Offspring acquire DNA from only one parent
    30s
  • Q5
    How do gametes provide one complete set of DNA in the new cell during fertilization?
    Each gamete contains predetermined sections of DNA
    Each gamete contains the full parent's DNA
    Each gamete shares DNA with the other parent
    Each gamete contains a random half of the parent's DNA
    30s
  • Q6
    What is the main drawback of asexual reproduction in terms of genetic diversity?
    Requiring finding a mate
    Providing genetic variation within a population
    Producing genetic clones of the parent
    Growing quickly and surviving in stable environments
    30s
  • Q7
    How is genetic variation achieved in sexual reproduction?
    Gametes contain random half of the parent's DNA, creating unique combinations
    Gametes contain predetermined sections of DNA from each parent
    Gametes combine to double the parent's DNA in offspring
    Gametes contain identical DNA from both parents
    30s
  • Q8
    What is the genetic information that codes for the features of a living organism?
    Lipids
    Proteins
    Carbohydrates
    DNA
    30s
  • Q9
    What is the main advantage of asexual reproduction?
    Being more time efficient and requiring less energy
    Growing quickly and surviving in stable environments
    Requiring finding a mate
    Providing genetic variation within a population
    30s
  • Q10
    What is the main advantage of sexual reproduction?
    Providing genetic variation within a population
    Requiring less energy
    Producing genetic clones of the parent
    Growing quickly and surviving in stable environments
