A
ant
B
dolphin
C
earthworm
D
bacterium
2) Which of the following is an example of sexual reproduction?
A
One cell splitting into two as in bacteria is sexual reproduction because the new cells both have identical genes.
B
Growth of an organism is reproduction because new organisms will result.
C
Joining of an egg and sperm because two different cells combine to form an organism with a new combination of genes.
D
Division of an amoeba because all of the parts of an amoeba have the same genes and will produce identical offspring.
3) Which of the following is an example of an organism reproduced asexually?
A
Female salmon laying eggs on gravel stream beds to be fertilized by a male.
B
Pollen blown by wind from one flower to another resulting in a seed.
C
A sea star being cut in half and each half regenerating a full sea star.

egg

A
two
B
none
C
one
D

6) You are given 3 unknown organisms labeled A, B, C. When looking at the DNA of the three unknown organisms, you find that they all have the exact same sequence of DNA. Which statement below is the most logical explanation?
A
Organisms A, B, and C were reproduced asexually from a common parent.
B
Organism A and B are the parents of C.
C
Organisms A, B, and C were reproduced sexually from a single pair of parents.
D
Organism A, B, and C are unrelated.
7) Bacteria reproduce asexually by dividing in two. If you were to examine the genetic material of two bacteria that had just been reproduced from the same parental cell, how would their genetic material compare? (Assume no mutations occur)
A
100% the same.
B
about 50% the same.
C
about 65% the same.
D
completely different.
8) Both parents of a Siamese cat have green eyes. Their offspring also have green eyes. This would be an example of

B
Inference - piano playing is an acquired trait.
C
Inference - piano playing is an inherited trait.
D
True - piano playing is an inherited trait.
10) You are given 3 unknown organisms labeled A, B, C. When looking at the DNA of the three unknown organisms, you find that the DNA of organism C is a combination of the DNA from organism A and organism B. Which statement is the most logical reason?
A
Organism A and B are the parents of C.
B
Organisms A, B, and C were reproduced asexually.
