b) It produces offspring genetically identical to each other and requires two parents.
c) It produces offspring genetically different from each other and requires one parent.
d) It produces offspring genetically different from each other and requires two parents.

Which statement about a zygote that forms by fertilization is correct?
a) A zygote has a full set of chromosomes, half from each parent
b) A zygote has half the full set of chromosomes from one parent.
c) A zygote has two full sets of chromosomes, one set from each parent.
d) A zygote has half the full set of chromosomes, one-fourth from each parent.

Which of these statements is true of sexual and asexual reproduction?
a) Both types of reproduction requires two parents.
b) Both types of reproduction result in offspring that are identical to parent to offspring.
c) Both types of reproduction enable genetic information to be passed from parent to offspring

a) Environmental conditions might change.
b) Reproduction requires complex body structures.
c) Reproduction increases the genetic variability of the species.
d) The survival of every species depends on the ability of organisms to reproduce.

Which of these statements correctly describes a difference between asexual and sexual reproduction?
a) Asexual reproduction increases genetic diversity, but sexual reproduction does not.
b) Asexual reproduction involves one parent, and sexual reproduction involves two parents.
c) Asexual reproduction increases a species' chances of surviving unfavorable conditions, but sexual reproduction does not.
