How much genetic material gets passed rom each parent to create a new organism?
For Mammals its 50 - 50.
The offspring of a sexually-reproducing organism receives?
half of its genetic material from each parent.
What is it called when some organisms get all of their genetic material from just one parent organism?
asexual reproduction
Why does an organism bother to reproduce?
It's part of the life cycle to continue the parent's "legacy" and their genetic material.
Variation of offspring of sexually reproducing organism is the direct result of?
Half of its genetic material from each parent. =o)
When a single cell organism divides to produce two new organisms with exactly the same genetic material as the parent the method of reproduction is called what?
Mitosis
What is genetic material in two daughter cells similar to the genetic material in the original parent cells?
Your a hoe
How does the genetic material of the new organisms above compare to that of the parent organism?
amino acids Meiosis during the formation of male and female gametes results into crossing over. Hence in a new organism, half of the genetic material corresponds to the two parents and the other half is a new combination of genes derived from these parents.

When a single celled organism divides to produce two new organisms with exactly the same genetic material as the parent the method of reproduction is called?
asexual reproduction
The passing of genetic material from parent to offspring is?
true
What happens to the genetic material from each parent before sexual reproduction can occur?
each parent must reduce his/her genetic material by half in a process called meiosis.
