Multiple ChoiceWhich statement describes the reproductive system of a human male?It releases sperm that can be used only in external fertilization.It synthesizes progesterone that regulates sperm formation.It produces gametes that transport food for embryo formation.It shares some structures with the excretory system.

- 16. Multiple ChoiceSexual reproduction involves the processes listed below. Which sequence represents the order in which these processes occur?A > B > C > DB > A > C > DC > B > D > AD > B > C > A
- 17. Multiple ChoiceThe diagram below represents early stages of embryo development. The greatest amount of differentiation for organ formation most likely occurs at arrowABCD
- 18. Multiple ChoiceAfter a zygote is formed, specialization of cells occurs. Through which process do the cells of a zygote become specialized?sexual reproductionmeiosisfertilizationdifferentiation
- 19. Multiple ChoiceThe development of nerve, muscle, and skin cells is represented in the diagram below. Which statement best explains how each of the different cell types can develop from the same embryo?The cells have identical genetic instructions, but different parts of these instructions are being expressed in each cell.The cells have identical genetic instructions, and all parts of these instructions are being expressed in each cell.The cells are produced by asexual reproduction and contain identical genetic instructions.The cells contain genetic instructions from two different parents and will express the instructions from one parent, only.
- 20. Multiple ChoiceBase your answer on the diagram below which represents a series of events in the development of a bird. Which series of terms best represents the sequence of processes shown?meiosis > growth > differentiationmeiosis > differentiation > growthmitosis > meiosis > differentiationmitosis > differentiation > growth
- 21. Multiple ChoiceWhich developmental process is represented by the diagram below?fertilizationdifferentiationevolutionmutation
- 22. Multiple ChoicePart of embryonic development in a species is illustrated in the diagram below. Which set of factors plays the most direct role in controlling the events shown in the diagram?genes, hormones, and cell locationantibodies, insulin, and starchATP, amino acids, and inorganic compoundsabiotic resources, homeostasis, and selective breeding
- 23. Multiple ChoiceBase your answer on the diagram below and on your knowledge of biology. The arrows in the diagram represent processes. Process B is known asmeiosisoogenesisdifferentiationgermination
- 24. Multiple ChoiceWhich sequence represents the correct order of events for the formation and development of an embryo?meiosis > fertilization > cleavage > differentiationcleavage > meiosis > differentiation > fertilizationdifferentiation > cleavage > meiosis > fertilizationcleavage > fertilization > differentiation > meiosis
- 25. Multiple ChoiceThe diagram below represents one stage during the human reproductive process. A function of structure A is toremove nutrients from the fetusprovide the fetus with metabolic wastesremove all toxins from the blood of the motherprovide for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
- 26. Multiple ChoiceKangaroos are mammals that lack a placenta. Therefore, they must have an alternate way of supplying the developing embryo withnutrientscarbon dioxideenzymesgenetic information
- 27. Multiple ChoiceMost mammals have adaptations forinternal fertilization and internal development of the fetusinternal fertilization and external development of the fetusexternal fertilization and external development of the fetusexternal fertilization and internal development of the fetus
- 28. Multiple ChoiceThe structure that makes nutrients most directly available to a human embryo is thegameteovarystomachplacenta
- 29. Multiple ChoiceIn a rabbit, the embryo normally develops within theplacentauterusyolk sacumbilical cord

- 31. Multiple ChoiceWhat is an advantage of internal fertilization and development over external fertilization and development?there is a greater chance for genetic variationonly one sperm is needed to fertilize the egggenes can pass directly from the mother to the embryothe chance for zygote survival is increased
- 32. Multiple ChoiceThe diagrams below illustrate types of asexual reproduction. Which statement correctly describes the offspring?They vary genetically from the parent.They are produced by the union of gametes.They are genetically identical to the parent.They result without the union of gametes

One negative result from asexual reproduction isincreased gene recombinationsdecreased biodiversity within the speciesincreased number of males produceddecreased number of eggs used
- 34. Multiple ChoiceWhich statement concerning the reproductive cells in the diagram below is correct?The cells are produced by mitosis and contain all the genetic information of the father.If one of these cells fertilizes an egg, the offspring will be identical to the father.Each of these cells contains only half the genetic information necessary for the formation of an offspring.An egg fertilized by one of these cells will develop into a female with the same characteristics as the mother.
- 35. Multiple ChoiceAgriculturists have developed some varieties of vegetables from common wild mustard plants, which reproduce sexually. Which statement best explains the development of these different varieties of vegetables?Different varieties can develop from a single species as a result of the recombination of genetic information.Different species can develop from a single species as a result of the effect of similar environmental conditions.Mutations will occur in the genes of a species only if the environment changes.Variations in a species will increase when the rate of mitosis is decreased.
