<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option B) The parent cell has 24 chromosomes.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

This is because:

In Asexual reproduction only one parent is required, unlike sexual reproduction which needs two parents. Since there is only one parent, there is no fusion of gametes and no mixing of genetic information. As a result, the offspring are genetically identical to the parent and to each other.
The parent cell simply divides to form two daughter cells that are identical to the parent. In sexual reproduction, meiosis produces haploid gametes that fuse during fertilization to produce a diploid zygote.
Haploid gametes are not involved in asexual reproduction. A parent passes all of its genetic material to the next generation, and hence the number of chromosomes remains same.

Result: The number of chromosomes remains same in asexual reproduction.

List and describe the role of the 3 types of rna.

<span>There are three RNAs with a role in the synthesis of protein.</span>

mRNA, or messenger RNA, is the link between a gene and a protein. The main role of this ribonucleic acid is in transcription (”reading“) of DNA. The DNA is transcribed by RNA polymerase, and the resulting product of this process is mRNA. This form of RNA can be modified post-transcriptionally with methylguanosine caps and polyadenosine tails. RNA carries the genetic information which is copied from DNA and the information has a form of three-base code (“words”), codons. Each of these codons specifies a particular amino acid.

tRNA or transfer RNA is the molecule with the main function in translation by "decoding" the mRNA message during this process. Each type of amino acid has its own type of tRNA and also has a three-base sequence (anticodon) that can bind complementary with the codons in the mRNA.

rRNA or ribosomal RNA is a main component of ribosomes. rRNA associates with a set of proteins to form ribosomes which catalyze the assembly of amino acids into polypeptide chains (protein).

<span>There are also a few more types of RNA which have a regulatory function like, microRNA or siRNA.</span>
