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

In sexual reproduction, the sex cells from each parent that combine to form a new offspring are called ________. A. chromosomes B. gametes C. diploids D. zygotes
