Question

Which of the following statements is true of asexual reproduction?

Answer 1

Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. The offspring may either bud from the parent or by fission. An example of this is Baker’s yeast. They are produced by budding. So as the small bud grows from the parent, it receives the same nucleus of the parent. When it pinches off from the parent, it is smaller but is genetically similar to the parent. On the other hand sexual reproduction involves two parents that contribute to the genetic material in order to produce a unique offspring. Your answer is incorrect. The correct answer is letter B.
