Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.52 Asexual and Sexual Reproduction skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the concept map linking reproductive strategy, genetic variation, environmental change, and population survival. Which missing link best completes the map from sexual reproduction to survival in a changing environment?

ASexual reproduction eliminates every mutation before selection occurs.

BSexual reproduction prevents offspring from inheriting chromosomes.

CSexual reproduction increases allele combinations, giving selection more variation to act on.

DSexual reproduction always produces fewer survivors in every environment.

Solution & Explanation:Sexual reproduction creates new allele combinations through meiosis and fertilization. In changing environments, selection can act on that variation.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A species in a stable cave environment has reproduced asexually for many generations. A new predator enters the cave. Which factor would most influence whether the population can adapt?

AThe number of labels used to name the cave organisms

BThe amount of heritable variation already present or generated by mutation

CThe fact that every asexual organism must lack DNA

DThe guarantee that all clones have unique gamete combinations

Solution & Explanation:Adaptation requires heritable variation. In a long-term asexual population, useful variation may be limited unless mutations or multiple lineages provide differences.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the risk matrix for crop propagation. Clone uniformity is high, clone disease-spread risk is high, seed genetic variation is high, and seed trait uniformity is moderate. Which recommendation is best supported by the matrix for a disease-prone region?

AUse a single clone everywhere because high disease-spread risk is helpful.

BAvoid all genetic variation because it always increases disease spread.

CIgnore propagation method because genotypes do not affect disease risk.

DUse more genetically varied seed-derived plants or multiple clonal lines to reduce shared vulnerability.

Solution & Explanation:The matrix suggests that shared genotypes can increase disease-spread risk. Genetic diversity can reduce the chance that all plants share the same susceptibility.
