A) In which form of reproduction does the offspring grow specifically from the stem or root of a plant? (1 point)
vegetative reproduction
fragmentation
budding
binary fission
A) Hydras are animals related to coral and jellyfish. Hydras can reproduce sexually or asexually. Why would hydras avoid reproducing
asexually when conditions are difficult? (1 point)
Reproducing more rapidly would be a good way to take advantage of plentiful resources.
The lack of genetic diversity could mean that all of the hydras die, depending on the situation.
The high genetic diversity could mean that all of the hydras die, depending on the situation.
Reproducing more slowly would be a good way to take advantage of plentiful resources.

A) In binary fission, one cell reproduces into two cells.
A) In which form of reproduction does the offspring grow specifically from the stem or root of a plant? (1 point)
The form of reproduction where the offspring grow specifically from the stem or root of a plant is called vegetative reproduction. To get this answer, you can recall that vegetative reproduction involves the production of new plants from stems, roots, or leaves of the parent plant, allowing for the growth of identical offspring.
A) Hydras are animals related to coral and jellyfish. Hydras can reproduce sexually or asexually. Why would hydras avoid reproducing asexually when conditions are difficult? (1 point)
The reason why hydras would avoid reproducing asexually when conditions are difficult is that the lack of genetic diversity could mean that all of the hydras die, depending on the situation. To deduce this answer, you can consider that asexual reproduction creates offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. In difficult conditions, a lack of genetic diversity leaves all offspring vulnerable to the same factors, such as disease or environmental changes.
A) A parent bacterial cell is able to survive in the presence of the antibiotic penicillin. Subsequent generations from this parent will be _______ penicillin. (1 point)
The subsequent generations from this parent bacterial cell will be resistant to penicillin. To determine this answer, you need to understand that resistance to antibiotics can occur through genetic mutations in bacteria. If the parent cell is already able to survive in the presence of penicillin, it is likely to have the genetic mutation that confers resistance. This resistance can then be passed down to subsequent generations.
A) In binary fission, one cell reproduces into _____ cell(s). (1 point)
In binary fission, one cell reproduces into two cells. To obtain this answer, you can recall that binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which a single cell divides into two equal-sized daughter cells, each having the same genetic material as the parent cell.
