Question

Which statements describe asexual reproduction? Check all that apply results in offspring with different DNA than parent results in offspring with the same DNA as parent requires only one parent to produce offspring requires two parents to produce offspring includes cell divisions that are similar to the cell divisions in meiosis includes cell divisions that are similar to the cell divisions in mitosis

Answer 1

Summary. Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique.

Answer 2

Answer:

• results in offspring with the same DNA as parent  
• requires only one parent to produce offspring  
• includes cell divisions that are similar to the cell divisions in mitosis

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction is a method of reproduction in plants and some animals such as Amoeba, Hydra. Some of the methods of asexual reproduction are fission, budding, fragmentation, spore formation. In all the methods of asexual reproduction, only one individual is required as the organisms produce offspring through mitosis. Therefore, the reproduced offspring are genetically identical or with the same DNA as in single individual.
