In sea urchin, which step of egg and sperm recognition involves the formation of a fertilization cone?   Sperm binding to the egg's vitelline membrane   Fusion of the sperm and egg membranes   Acrosomal reaction   Chemo-attraction   Sperm binding to the egg's jelly coat

Asexual reproduction passes on 100% of the parent's genes but it is relatively rare. What are the advantages of sexual vs asexual reproduction? In some cases, species are hermaphrodites to reduce the difficulty in finding mates. What is the difference between simultaneous and sequential hermaphrodites? Why is "selfing" relatively rare?

Which statements describe sexual reproduction? offspring is a combination of DNA from two parents produces offspring that are identical to the parents diploid parent organisms produce haploid offspring uses gamete cells produced by meiosis

In the development of a "three-parent baby", the third parent donates which of the following? nuclear DNA sperm egg mitochondria only egg with the nucleus removed

Is a zygote a fertilized egg?

If a variety of seaweed reproduces only through mitosis, this would be considered is "asexual reproduction" true or false?

Briefly compare and contrasts the advantage of asexual and sexual reproduction.  Which one is most common in animals?

When conducting the eggshell membrane experiment, what is vinegar used for? Multiple Choice   To remove the shell   To turn the albumin white   To solidify the yolk   To make the shell turn a pinkish color   To separate the egg shell from the rest of the egg

2)Why are organisms that broadcast spawn useful for studying fertilization & development? a)Fertilization does not require multiple gametes b)Fertilization occurs outside the bodies of the parents, so it can be directly observed c)Fertilization is observable because the eggs are large enough to see d)Fertilization occurs without the need for parents

make a Venn diagram, to discuss the similarities and differences of reproduction in plants and animals.
