The right answer is C. The offspring are genetically distinct ... by sexual reproduction.

Sexual reproduction, as opposed to asexual reproduction, indicates that the propagation of a species involves male and female gametes. It is the main method of reproduction of multicellular organisms.

In the first stage of sexual reproduction, meiosis, the number of chromosomes is reduced from a diploid number (2n) to a haploid number (n). During fertilization ("fertilization"), haploid gametes come together to form a diploid zygote and restore the initial number of chromosomes (2n).

<u>Answer</u>: C. The offspring are genetically distinct from the parents because they are produced by sexual reproduction.

<u>Explanation</u>: <em>Sexual reproduction</em> occurs through the fusion between an egg and a sperm cell. Each of these cells has a single set of chromosomes and thus are haploid. As a result, the offspring will be a diploid organism with half of its genetic material coming from the mother and half from the father.

Because the offspring is a combination of the parental genetic information, its own genetic setup will be thus unique compared with that of each parent.

The type of reproduction in which the offspring is identical to the parent is called <em>asexual reproduction</em>. Here, one organism produces a genetic copy of itself, without  exchanging genetic information with another organism through sex.

The correct answer is D. The genes are coded to produce specific proteins, by the process of transcription and translation.
These proteins then, lead to the production of characteristic traits like eye color, hair color etc. 
So genes indirectly control the traits

<h3>What is PCR?</h3>

Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) test is a type of test that is used to identify a particular deoxyribonucleic acid of an organism.

<em>Streptococcus salivarius</em> cannot be cultured especially when the test sample is contaminated with other body normal flora.

The steps of PCR testing include the following:

  • Denaturation by heat

  • Annealing Primer to Target Sequence

  • Extension

  • End of the First PCR Cycle

On a crime scene, the specimen that can be used for PCR testing are blood and body secretions.

PCR testing can be done on a scene with blood spills.
