In a species of yeast, a new individual develops as an outgrowth on a parent, which then separates from the parent once it has matured.
Budding
A species of shark reproduces sexually in the wild, but females of this species can reproduce asexually in captivity.
Decreased genetic diversity within the species
New starfish can develop from broken arms that have detached from the original starfish.
Fragmentation
Which of the following answer choices best describes the image shown above?
It depicts asexual reproduction occurring through binary fission, a process that does not lead to genetic variation.
Which of the following is true of binary fission?
It produces two identical daughter cells.
Which of the following statements is true for asexual reproduction?
Mode of reproduction for Escherichia coli, a prokaryotic organism/Can occur in animals through fragmentation
Which statement applies to all forms of sexual reproduction?
Offspring receive genetic material from two gametes.
Female New Zealand mud snails are able to produce viable offspring that develop into mature adults from unfertilized eggs.
Parthenogenesis
Which of the following statements is true for sexual reproduction?
Provides genetic variation, but time-consuming/Sperm fertilizes egg
What statement accurately compares sexual and asexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction results in genetic variation and asexual reproduction does not.
What type of reproduction does Pisum sativum undergo and why?
Sexual reproduction; sperm and egg will fuse to form a unique zygote
Which statement correctly describes the offspring of asexual reproduction?
They result without the fusion of gametes.
