Question

The parent plant reproduced asexually to form the daughter plant. If the leaf cells of the parent plant have 24 chromosomes, which two statements are true of the daughter plant?
A. The daughter plant developed from a zygote.
B. The leaf cells of the daughter plant have 12 chromosomes.
C. The daughter plant is genetically similar to the parent plant.
D. The leaf cells of the daughter plant have 24 chromosomes.
E. The reproduction of the daughter plant involved meiosis.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct statements are C The daughter plant is genetically similar to the parent cell. D The leaf cells of the daughter plant have 24 chromosomes

Explanation:

According to the given question the parent plant reproduced asexually to form the daughter plant as a result the daughter plant will inherit the genes of parental plant.

During  Asexual reproduction the fission of gamets or the change in the number of chromosome does not occur.From this point of view it can be stated that the daughter organism will contain same number of chromosomes at that of parental organism.

  There are many typesw of asexual reproduction such as fission,budding,spore formation,vegetative propagation,fragmentation etc.
