little change

While surveying his apple trees, a farmer discovers a
particular tree that produces apples with perfect size, color,
and flavor. To reproduce this plant, he removes a twig from
the tree and attaches it to the stem and root system of a
growing apple tree in a process called grafting. The tree will
continue to grow and will later produce apples.
Why does he use this method instead of planting an apple
seed from the tree with ideal apples?
A. The apple seed contains a mixture of genetic material from
two trees.
B. The apple seed will grow into a tree that is not identical to
the parent tree.
C. The twig contains the genetic material of the parent tree
and will eventually produce identical apples.
D. all of these
The offspring of a sexually-reproducing
organism receives
A. an exact copy of each parent's
genetic material.
B. an exact copy of one parent's
genetic material.
C. genetic material that is not related
to either parent.
D. half of its genetic material from
each parent.
Select the choice that best completes
the following sentence:
________ reproduction requires one
parent, while ________ reproduction
requires two parents.
A. Asexual, sexual
B. Sexual, asexual
C. Animal, bacterial
D. Single, double
Tony is in science class, and he is

B. is a blend of the genetic material of

C. is identical to its own genetic
material.
D. all of these
In sexual reproduction, the sex
cells from each parent that

reproduction
D. neither asexual reproduction
nor sexual reproduction

D. half of its genetic material from
each parent.
