Question

Asexual reproduction in the parent cell will result in offspring with

A) similar genetic information.
B) half the genetic information.
C) double the genetic information.
D) four times the genetic information.

Answer 1

Correct answer: A). Similar genetic information.

Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction, which involves one parent and gives offspring that are genetically similar to each other and to their parents. It does not involve the fusion of male and female gamete.

It allows the plant to reproduce quickly, as a result of that the parent plant is compete-ting with their offspring for the same nutrient, sunlight, and space.

Example: Binary fission, fragmentation, vegetative propagation.

Answer 2

Technically, it would create an identical copy of the parent cell, but with the answers you gave me, I would have to say the first response. Sexual reproduction provides half the genetic information, a half from one parent and a half from the other.

I hope this helps!!!! :)
