Question

If the parent has 8 chromosomes

and reproduces asexually, how
many chromosomes will the
offspring have?
A. 4
B. 8
C. 16​

Answer 1

B.8

They will have the same chromosomes, and will also have the exact same chromosome number that the parent had.

So, in this situation, the offspring will also have 8 chromosomes.

Answer 2

B. 8 chromosomes

Step-by-step explanation:

If the parent has 8 chromosomes and reproduces asexually, then the offspring will also have 8 chromosomes.

The reason is that the offsprings will be the exact clones of their parents, in asexual reproduction.

The offsprings also have the exact and same number of chromosomes of their parents. So, option (B) is the answer.
