Terms in this set (13)

The diagram below represents a yeast cell that is in the process of budding, a form of asexual reproduction. Which statement describes the outcome of this process?
The two cells that result will have identical DNA.
Explanation: Asexual reproduction produces offspring that have identical DNA.
What type of reproduction is illustrated in the diagram?
Sporulation
Explanation: The organism is a mold. They produce asexually by means of sporulation.
Potatoes, strawberries, and seedless oranges are reproduced by what asexual means of reproduction?

BIOLOGY
One type of solder is a metal alloy of tin and bismuth. When a length of solder wire is attached to a heavy mass at one end and suspended from the ceiling at the other end, it slowly increases in length. Now consider the properties of the compound table salt, sodium chloride (NaCl). Are some properties of the elements in the compound retained in the compound? Explain.
