Question

question 1 (1 point)
passes genetic information
onto future generations..
o a asexual reproduction
b both
o c sexual reproduction

question 2 (1 point)
which is an example of sexual reproduction?
o a cutting off the arm of a starfish
b yeast producing identical cells
o c dolphins laying eggs
o d butterflies receive nectar when they deposit pollen on flower

Explanation:

• Question 1: Both asexual and sexual reproduction pass genetic information to future generations. In asexual reproduction, offspring are genetically identical to the parent (e.g., binary fission in bacteria, budding in yeast). In sexual reproduction, offspring inherit genetic material from two parents, but still pass on genetic information (through gametes like sperm and eggs).
• Question 2:
• Option a (cutting off the arm of a starfish) is a form of asexual reproduction (regeneration).
• Option b (yeast producing identical cells) is asexual reproduction (budding).
• Option c (dolphins do not lay eggs; they are mammals and give live birth. This option is factually incorrect).
• Option d (Butterflies depositing pollen on flowers is part of sexual reproduction in plants. The transfer of pollen (male gamete - like structure) to the flower (where female gametes are present) is crucial for plant sexual reproduction as it leads to fertilization).

Answer:

• Question 1: B. both
• Question 2: D. Butterflies receive nectar when they deposit pollen on flower
