Question

Asexual reproduction of organisms normally results in new organisms that contain cells with....

1.) More chromosomes than are found in the cells of the parent

2.) half the number of chromosomes

3.) the same number of chromosomes

4.) fewer chromosomes that are found in the cells of the parent

Answer 1

The parent cell simply divides to form two daughter cells that are identical to the parent. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, whereas sexual reproduction produces a similar, but genetically unique offspring.Organisms choose to reproduce asexually by different means. Some of the asexual methods are binary fission (e.g. Amoeba, bacteria), budding (e.g. Hydra), fragmentation (e.g. Planaria), spore formation (e.g. ferns) and vegetative propagation (e.g. Onion). Binary fission: Single parent cell doubles its DNA, then divides into two cells. ...

2) Budding: Small growth on surface of parent breaks off, resulting in the formation of two individuals. ...

3) Fragmentation: Organisms break into two or more fragments that develop into a new individual.Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which only one parent is involved to reproduce offspring. In asexual reproduction,the offsprings produced are exact copies of their parents. It is generally observed in very small sized organisms.
