Answer:
The answer to your query is V, or “More genetic Variation among their offspring”
Explanation:
> When reproducing asexually, only one parent is required, and the offspring will only be getting that parent’s alleles.
> Alleles are traits passed on by one parent to an offspring. During sexual reproduction, alleles from both parents are given to the offspring, making it similar to both parents.
> Since there are two parents, there is much more genetic variation, as more traits are given. Whichever allele is dominant (If there is a dominant and a recessive allele, the dominant will show through, and the recessive will not be shown), will become the one the offspring keeps.
> During asexual reproduction, only one parent is transferring it’s alleles, so the offspring is only getting one set, making it identical to the parent. If something is identical to something else, there is no variation between the two things.
> As for the choice “A larger number of offspring”, this is incorrect, due to the fact that the type of reproduction has nothing to do with the amount of offspring that can be produced.
> As for the choice “Offspring that are nearly identical to their parents”, this is also incorrect, as asexual reproduction is what makes near identical/identical offspring possible.
> As for the choice “Offspring that are perfectly adapted to their parent’s habitat”, this is incorrect, as the type of reproduction does not change evolution, as this is describing. If a plant were to somehow evolve to grow larger than it did before, as to gain more sunlight, it would be able to transfer the evolution to it’s offspring just as well as if a coyote were to do the same.
> Once again, the correct answer is V) More genetic variation among their offspring
> I hope this helped you with your question, and any more queries you may have had on the subject. #LearningWithBrainly
