the same parents.
A) A mother cat is a calico, with orange, black, and white fur. She has three kittens—an orange female, a black and orange female, and
a black female. Did she reproduce sexually or asexually? Choose the option that has the best evidence to support your choice.
(1 point)
Sexually, because cats are multicellular, and multicellular organisms typically reproduce sexually.
Sexually, because each kitten looks different than the mother, which is a sign of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction.
Asexually, because all of her kittens are females like her, which occurs with asexual reproduction.
Asexually, because all of her kittens have the same colors as her, because they only inherited her genes.
Sexually, because each kitten looks different than the mother, which is a sign of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction.
A) The organism that can reproduce both sexually and asexually is the protist.
A) Offspring form on the surface of the parent in the process of budding.
A) Asexual reproduction results in two organisms with the same DNA.
A) The mother cat reproduced sexually because each kitten looks different than the mother, which is a sign of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction.
Question 13:
To determine which organism can reproduce both sexually and asexually, we need to examine the options provided: dog, starfish, protist, and sandhill crane. To find the correct answer, we need to identify the organism that is capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction.
One approach is to search for information about each organism's reproductive abilities. We can use search engines or consult reliable sources such as biology textbooks or scientific articles. By doing so, we can find that starfish are capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction. Therefore, the correct answer to question 13 is starfish.
Question 14:
To determine the type of reproduction where offspring form on the surface of the parent, we need to analyze the options: fragmentation, binary fission, budding, and vegetative reproduction.
To find the correct answer, we can search for information about each type of reproduction. By doing so, we can discover that the type of reproduction described in which offspring form on the surface of the parent is called "budding". It is a form of asexual reproduction where a new individual develops from an outgrowth or bud on the surface of the parent organism. Thus, the correct answer to question 14 is budding.
Question 15:
To determine the outcome of asexual reproduction in terms of DNA, we need to analyze the options: same DNA, different parents, different DNA, and same parents.
To find the correct answer, we can understand the concept of asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction involves the production of offspring without the involvement of gametes (sex cells), resulting in genetically identical or nearly identical offspring. This means that the offspring will have the same DNA as the parent organism. Therefore, the correct answer to question 15 is the same DNA.
Question 16:
To determine whether a mother cat reproduced sexually or asexually, we need to evaluate the options provided and the evidence provided within the question.
The options are: sexually because cats are multicellular and multicellular organisms typically reproduce sexually, sexually because each kitten looks different from the mother indicating genetic variation due to sexual reproduction, asexually because all of her kittens are females like her which occurs with asexual reproduction, and asexually because all of her kittens have the same colors as her, suggesting they only inherited her genes.
Considering the information given, we can eliminate the options stating sexual reproduction as there is evidence that all the kittens inherited specific characteristics from the mother cat. Since calico fur coloration is determined by genes on the X chromosome, it is unlikely that all the kittens would have the same calico pattern if they were produced sexually. This indicates that the mother cat reproduced asexually, as her female kittens inherited her genes and fur colors. Therefore, the best evidence to support the choice of asexual reproduction is the option stating, "Asexually because all of her kittens have the same colors as her, because they only inherited her genes."
