1. What is the difference between asexual and sexual reproduction? 2. If the genetic material in two nuclei fuses together to form a zygote is this an example of sexual or asexual reproduction? What types of cells fused together and what process created those cells? 3. Organism X has 40 chromosomes in their somatic cells. How many chromosomes would you find in its sperm cell? 4. The somatic cells of humans contain 46 chromosomes. How many chromosomes would a human zygote have? 5. A zebra has 21 chromosomes in their sex cells. How many chromosomes would we find in its somatic cells? 6. A billy goat has 30 chromosomes in their somatic cells. How many would you find in the egg cell of a billy goat? 7. Bacteria X reproduces asexually and has 16 chromosomes. How many chromosomes would the offspring have? 8. A diploid cell contains 48 chromosomes. How many chromosomes would be in a gamete of the same species?

Chapter 7 What's the difference between asexual and sexual reproduction? What are the advantages and disadvantages of sexual reproduction vs. asexual reproduction? Use these terms: Gamete, Zygote, Diploid, haploid, homologous pairs / homologues Why do cells divide with meiosis? Explain what happens in each stage of meiosis (Interphase I, prophase I, metaphase I, etc all the way through cytokinesis II). For each stage, describe the major events, explain if the cell is haploid or diploid, and explain how many chromatids on each chromosome. Compare and contrast the steps of meiosis with those of mitosis. What's different between interphase I and interphase II? What's different between metaphase I and metaphase II? What's different between anaphase I and anaphase II? Describe and explain the three ways that sexual reproduction creates variation (including crossing over and independent assortment). Compare cell division with mitosis and meiosis. How do the daughter cells of each process differ? What are each used for? Which cells in your body form by mitosis and which form by meiosis?
Adi S.
What are the main differences between asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction? 1. Asexual reproduction requires two parents and produces non-identical offspring, while sexual reproduction requires only one parent and produces identical offspring. 2. Asexual reproduction requires two parents and produces identical offspring, while sexual reproduction requires only one parent and produces non-identical offspring. 3. Asexual reproduction requires only one parent and produces identical offspring, while sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces non-identical offspring. 4. Asexual reproduction requires only one parent and produces non-identical offspring, while sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces identical offspring.
Sri K.
All of the following are correct about asexual reproduction EXCEPT (A) it can create numerous offspring quickly (B) the offspring are genetically identical to the parent (C) it enables animals living in isolation to reproduce without a mate (D) there is no expenditure of energy maintaining reproductive systems or hormonal cycles (E) it is advantageous when the environment is changing and the organism is stressed
