Example Question #1 : Plants Similarities To Their Parents
How can you tell if an adult plant and a baby plant are related?
You can look to see if they have the same exact flowers.
You can never tell if a baby plant and adult plant are related.
You can look for things like leaf shape, color, and vines to see if they match.
You can look for things like leaf shape, color, and vines to see if they match.
Adult plants and baby plants (offspring) will look very similar when related. Their leaf shape, color, vines, stem shape, stem color, and overall appearance will be very alike.
Example Question #8 : Observe How Plant Offspring Are Similar To Parents
What is the main characteristic that is different between an adult plant and a related baby plant?
Their color
Their leaves
Their size
Their size
The most distinct difference between a baby plant and an adult plant is their size. They look very similar but baby plants are much smaller, like a miniature version.
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
