Example Question #2 : Plants Similarities To Their Parents
What similarities are there between the young plants and the adult plant?
They have the same color pot and they all have leaves.
There are no similarities between the various plants.
They have similarly shaped leaves and stems, the same shape overall, and their colors are the same.
They have similarly shaped leaves and stems, the same shape overall, and their colors are the same.
When comparing the adult plant to the offspring in different stages of growth, there are multiple similarities. It is obvious they are different sizes, but they have similar shaped leaves and stems, they are growing into the same shaped plant, and their colors are alike.
Example Question #10 : Observe How Plant Offspring Are Similar To Parents
Which baby plant is most likely the offspring of this pine tree?
The correct answer choice is a match to the adult tree. It is most likely the offspring of the pine tree because they have similarly shaped leaves, are about the same color, and they appear to be growing in the same way in bunches.
Example Question #1 : Observe How Animal Offspring Are Similar To Parents
What does the word offspring mean? Example: The mother eagle looks after her offspring until they leave the nest.
An adult animal or plant
The location plants and animals live
A plant or animal's young/baby
A plant or animal's young/baby
Offspring is the young of a plant or animal. In the example, the mother eagle is taking care of her babies until they leave the nest. Plants and animals reproduce and their babies are called offspring.
Example Question #1 : Observe How Animal Offspring Are Similar To Parents
How are animal offspring similar to their parents?
They have similar but not identical features.
Offspring are not similar to their parents in any way.
They are exactly the same in every way.
They have similar but not identical features.
Animal offspring are similar to their parents because they have many of the same or similar features. They may have the same coloring, eye colors, patterns, but just be a smaller version. They inherit their traits and appearance from their parents, so there is some resemblance.
Example Question #1 : Observe How Animal Offspring Are Similar To Parents
A small, orange kitten walks up to a big, grey dog and wonders if it is his mother. How can we tell the dog is NOT his mother?
They are different species and do not look alike.
The kitten is orange, and the dog is grey.
The dog is large, and the kitten is small.
They are different species and do not look alike.
The dog and kitten are two different species, so there is no way that the dog is the kitten's mother! They look nothing alike and are not the same animal, so that is a big clue! Animal parents and their offspring have to be the same species and will have some things in common.
Example Question #4 : Observe How Animal Offspring Are Similar To Parents
What is the main difference between the mother and baby elephant?
Their size
Their features
Their color
Their size
The main difference between the two elephants is their size. The adult and baby both have similar coloring, ear shape, trunks, and builds. The mother elephant is much larger than its offspring.
Example Question #1 : Observe How Animal Offspring Are Similar To Parents
How are the mother and baby tigers similar?
They are not similar in any way.
Their color, size, and patterns are similar.
Their colors, patterns, features, and shapes are similar.
Their colors, patterns, features, and shapes are similar.
The mother tiger and her offspring are similar in their coloring, pattern, features, and builds. They are different because of their size. The adult tiger is much larger than the baby tiger.
Example Question #2 : Observe How Animal Offspring Are Similar To Parents
Which cat is most likely his mother?
The cat that is most likely his mother is very similar to him. Animal offspring are similar to their parents and will have features that are alike. There will be some differences
Example Question #7 : Observe How Animal Offspring Are Similar To Parents
Baby animals look identical to their parents in all ways.
True
False
False
Animal parents and their offspring do not look exactly the same. Baby animals inherit traits from both parents and are not the same size as adult animals.
Example Question #1 : Observe How Animal Offspring Are Similar To Parents
This picture is of an adult goose and its offspring. Why does the baby goose look different?
They are two different animals, so they cannot look the same.
Parents and their offspring look similar but are not identical.
Baby animals only look like their father's, and that is the mother.
Parents and their offspring look similar but are not identical.
The baby goose and its parent look different because offspring and adults look similar, not exact. The geese both have two legs, two wings, similar shaped bills, and bodies. They are different colors because the baby goose has not gotten its feathers yet and is much smaller than the adult goose.
