What type of reproduction do most single celled organisms use?
It uses asexual
What must a single cell organism do before it can reproduce
They must duplicate its DNA before it can reproduce
When a single cell organism reproduces, what is the result
An exact copy of itself
In what ways is any single cell organism differ from its parent
It doesn’t differ apart from its parents
What type of reproduction do most plants use?
What nonliving source do plants rely on most for pollination?
What type of reproduction do most plants use?
They use asexual
What nonliving force do plants rely on most for pollination?
They rely on wind to blow pollen
What are some of the ways which plants encourage or trick animals into carrying their
pollen to other plants? They disguise themselves and they can hide.
What proportion of each parent plants genetic material does each offspring plant have?
It gets all the genetic material from the old plant because it is genetically identical

What type of reproduction do whiptail lizards in the video use?
They use asexual

How many parents do whiptail lizards have? They have one parent

Ho do young whiptail lizards differ from their parents if at all? They don’t

How much of their parents genetic materials do whiptail?
All of it because they are identical copies

What are the differences between the 2 different species of minnows?
Some are sexual and asexual

Which species tends to be more heavily parasite the worm that comes in black spot
diseases? The asexual

How are the sexual reproducers able to evolve defenses against parasites more
quickly and more effectively than their asexual counterparts?
Asexual has one parent making changes in the genetic material
Sexual has two parents making changes in the genetic material
