Sexual and Asexual Reproduction Study Guide
Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that requires only one parent. The resulting offspring are
identical to the parent.
Sexual Reproduction produces new organisms from the combined DNA of two parents. In sexual
reproduction, gametes (sex cells: sperm cells from father and egg cells from mother) formed during
meiosis combine during a process called fertilization.
Practice Questions
1. Which process produces offspring from two parents?
a. Asexual Reproduction
b. Sexual Reproduction c. Binary Fission
d. Budding
2. Describe the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction.
a. Sexual reproduction requires one parent, but asexual requires two.
b. Sexual reproduction produces identical offspring, but asexual produces offspring that are
a combination of both parents.
c. Sexual reproduction requires two parents, but asexual requires one.
d. Sexual reproduction is faster than asexual reproduction.
3. Which organism would you classify as sexually reproducing?
a. A strawberry plant that reproduces through runners in the ground
b. A starfish that reproduces by breaking off and regenerating parts of its body
c. An amoeba that splits through binary fission
d. A chicken egg that is fertilized by a rooster
4. How does the DNA of an asexually reproducing plant relate to its parent(s)?
a. Its DNA is a combination of two parent’s DNA.
b. Its DNA has mutations.
c. Its DNA is identical to its parent.
5. A gardener noticed that the offspring of his strawberry plants looked identical, while all of the
flowering plants looked different. Which is likely true of the plants?
a. The strawberries reproduced asexually, while the flowering plants reproduced sexually.
b. The strawberries reproduced sexually, while the flowering plants reproduced asexually.
c. Both the strawberries and flowering plants reproduced sexually.
d. Both the strawberries and flowering plants reproduced asexually.
6. Bacteria reproduce by dividing through a process called binary fission. Which type of
reproduction is described above?
a. Sexual
b. Asexual c. Meiosis
d. Fertilization
7. Which cell aids in sexual reproduction?
a. Sperm cell
b. Skin cell c. Nerve cell
d. Muscle cell
8. What process do asexual organisms use to reproduce?
a. Mitosis B. Meiosis C. Fertilization D. Osmosis
9. How do the number of chromosomes in an asexually reproducing plant compare to its parents?
a. They are double the number.
b. They are the same. c. They are half the number.
d. They are one-fourth the number.

Types of Asexual (IDENTICAL) Reproduction Type of Asexual Reproduction Description Organisms That Use It Image Binary Fission Cell Division through mitosis Bacteria, Amoeba Budding Bud grows from the body of parent organism through mitosis Hydra, Cactus, Yeast Fragmentation/Regeneration Offspring grows from a piece of its parent through mitosis Starfish, Axolotl, Plant Cuttings Vegetative Propagation (Plants) uniform offspring grow from runners that take root in the ground and reproduce through mitosis Strawberries, Potatoes Practice Questions

  1. Which organism reproduces sexually? a. Starfish b. Bacteria c. Flowering Plant d. Hydra
  2. Circle one: Organisms produced asexually are (identical/similar) to parent organisms.
  3. Circle one: Organisms produced asexually have (the same/half) the number of chromosomes as the parent organism.
  4. Which is not a type of asexual reproduction? a. Budding b. Fission c. Fertilization d. Regeneration
  5. Which offspring will be most different from its parent? a. Strawberry b. Sperm Cell c. Starfish d. Cactus
