- Q1How does asexual reproduction compare to sexual reproduction in terms of time and energy efficiency?Asexual reproduction relies on complex mating ritualsAsexual reproduction requires more time and energyAsexual reproduction is more time efficient and requires less energyAsexual reproduction is slower than sexual reproduction30s
- Q2Why does sexual reproduction increase the likelihood of population survival in changing environments?Mating rituals are complicatedFewer individuals are producedGenetic clones make the population more resistantGenetic variation allows for adaptability to changing conditions30s
- Q3What is the genetic basis for determining the features of a living organism?ProteinsLipidsDNACarbohydrates30s
- Q4Why are offspring from sexual reproduction genetically unique?Offspring inherit identical DNA from both parentsEach gamete is genetically unique and combines randomly during fertilizationOffspring receive predetermined sections of DNA from each parentOffspring acquire DNA from only one parent30s
- Q5How do gametes provide one complete set of DNA in the new cell during fertilization?Each gamete contains predetermined sections of DNAEach gamete contains the full parent's DNAEach gamete shares DNA with the other parentEach gamete contains a random half of the parent's DNA30s
- Q6What is the main drawback of asexual reproduction in terms of genetic diversity?Requiring finding a mateProviding genetic variation within a populationProducing genetic clones of the parentGrowing quickly and surviving in stable environments30s
- Q7How is genetic variation achieved in sexual reproduction?Gametes contain random half of the parent's DNA, creating unique combinationsGametes contain predetermined sections of DNA from each parentGametes combine to double the parent's DNA in offspringGametes contain identical DNA from both parents30s
- Q8What is the genetic information that codes for the features of a living organism?LipidsProteinsCarbohydratesDNA30s
- Q9What is the main advantage of asexual reproduction?Being more time efficient and requiring less energyGrowing quickly and surviving in stable environmentsRequiring finding a mateProviding genetic variation within a population30s
- Q10What is the main advantage of sexual reproduction?Providing genetic variation within a populationRequiring less energyProducing genetic clones of the parentGrowing quickly and surviving in stable environments30s
