The instrument was a two-tier on-line test consisting 25 items. There were 90 college students who studied biology taking this on-line test. The results indicated that the misconceptions that students held as follows: (1)reproduction is defined as only through fertilization or producing gametes, (2)cell division is reproduction, (3)sexual reproduction is not good for generation by generation, (4)meiosis happens on asexual reproduction, (5)test tube baby is the baby developed in a test tube, (6)copy sheep (Dolly) is not the product from reproduction.
