Question

The diagram shows one way that genetic information can be passed from a parent to an offspring.

-.-
Which statement names and best describes the process in the diagram?
A) Meiosis; occurs during asexual reproduction and will not result in genetic variation among the offspring.
B) Meiosis; occurs before sexual reproduction and will result in offspring with different genetic information from the parent.
C) Mitosis; occurs during asexual reproduction and will not result in offspring with different genetic information from the parent.
D) Mitosis; occurs before sexual reproduction and will result in genetic variation among the offspring.

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A cell contains a set amount of chromosomes, in order for a offspring of two parents to have a genetic difference in their dna, like it normally does, two sexual cells must be involved in the process, theese cells having half of the set chromosomes (process achieved by meiosis), adding up to the species set number by the procces of combining, this making it so that the offspring has half the dna of each parent, then the dominant traits will be the ones shown in the phenotype of the offspring

Answer 2

B is the correct answer!
