Document Summary

In cytokinesis the division of the cytoplasm differs in plants and animals. Asexual reproduction is based on mitotic division of the nucleus. In the animal cells, the plasma membrane pinches between the nuclei because of a contractile ring of microfilaments of actin and myosin. Cells of multicellular organisms break off to form a new individual. The offspring are clones, which are genetically identical to the parent. In sexual reproduction the offspring are not identical to the parents. It requires gametes created by meiosis, with both parents each contributing one gamete to an offspring. Gametes and offspring differ genetically from each other an from the parents. Somatic cells are body cells that are not specialised for reproduction. Each somatic cell contains homologous pairs of chromosomes with corresponding bases, with each of the parents contributing one homolog. Gametes contain only one set of chromosomes. If haploid the number of chromosomes = n.

there could be more than one answer or no answer at all

1. _____ Females that reproduce sexually versus asexually are said to incur a âtwo-fold cost of sexual reproduction.â Which of the following costs are associated with sexual reproduction for females?

A) MALES! That do-nothing lot really does not directly contribute offspring to the next generation. Females would be better off making all daughters.

B) FEMALES! In most natural settings, those daughters compete with their mothers for potential mates and resources needed to successfully reproduce.

C) MITOSIS! Since sexual reproduction can produce many more offspring than asexual reproduction, there are energetic costs associated with the mitotic divisions required to produce those offspring.

D) MEIOSIS! Every time a gamete is produced, the parent loses a little bit of itself. Half to be precise since only half of its genes are passed on to sexually produced offspring.

E) DIVERSITY! Mothers maximize fitness if all offspring are genetically just like them. Sexual reproduction causes genetic diversity, which ultimately lowers the fitness of both parents.

Just to keep you in practice, a couple of the much beloved multiple multiple choiceâ¦

E) an immediate increase in the number of red blood cells found in the blood stream
