List three reasons why individuals that result from sexual reproduction do not have the same DNA instructions as their parents.
Most eukaryotic organisms reproduce sexually, but a few eukaryotic organisms, like Bdelloid rotifers, reproduce asexually. Which of the following describes the difference between the formation of cells in sexually reproducing eukaryotes and asexually reproducing rotifers? A - Sexually reproducing eukaryotes proceed through one stage of meiosis to produce haploid cells, while Bdelloid rotifers proceed through two divisions to produce diploid cells. B= Sexually reproducing eukaryotes proceed through two stages of meiosis to produce haploid cells, while Bdelloid rotifers only need to proceed through one division to produce diploid cells. C- DNA is replicated and divided once in the production of haploid cells in Bdelloid rotifers, while DNA is replicated and divided twice in the production of diploid cells in sexually reproducing eukaryotes. D- DNA is replicated and divided twice in the production of diploid cells in Bdelloid rotifers, while DNA is replicated and divided once in the…
Why must the life cycle of sexually reproducing species alternate between haploid and diploid stages? A) Mitosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a doubling of chromosomes in each generation. B) Meiosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a doubling of chromosomes in each generation. C) Mitosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a reduction of chromosomes in each generation. D) Meiosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a reduction of chromosomes in each generation.
Most eukaryotic organisms use sexual reproduction as their primary means of perpetuating their species. Gametes are formed via meiosis. However, some species primarily reproduce via asexual means. Reproduction is accomplished via mitosis. Aspen trees most commonly reproduce by such asexual methods of cloning.What are the advantages and disadvantages of reproduction by asexual means? Why do some species reproduce in this manner? Why don't all species?
What distinguishes asexual reproduction from sexual reproduction? What benefit does sexual reproduction confer to species? What is the value of genetic diversity? Why? In what ways does sexual reproduction contribute to diversity? Describe the unpredictability of meiotic partner selection, random distribution, and crossover.
Which of the following is an advantage of asexual reproduction over sexual reproduction?
Which of the following statements is not correct ? a. Homologous chromosomes are separated during meiosis 1. b. In humans, a primary spermatocyte cell has 92 chromatids c. A null allele is characterized by the complete loss of a gene or its function d. According to the germ line theary all cells (germ line and somatic) cotribute to the next generation e. The lineage of cells that eventually form eggs or sperms is known as germ-line cells
Explain why the following statement is false: Sexual reproduction is the only mechanism for genetic change.
Some organisms—for example, certain fungi—reproduce asexually when the environment is favorable and sexually when the environment becomesunfavorable. What might be the evolutionary advantage of sexual reproduction with the associated process of meiosis during unfavorable conditions?
In eukaryotic reproduction two haploid gametes fuse together to produce a diploid zygote which will grow into a new living organism with characteristics from both parents. true or false?
Which of the following consequences of sexual reproduction is considered disadvantageous? A. More rapid evolution. B. Generation of novel genotypes. C. Clearance of deleterious mutations. D. Reduced relatedness.
In asexual reproduction a diploid individual would produce which of the following Group of answer choices A. haploid offspring through meiosis B. diploid offspring through mitosis C. haploid offspring through mitosis D. diploid offspring through meiosis
