Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In Leslie’s family, two of the children have attached earlobes and one child has unattached earlobes. Which of these processes is responsible for the variety of traits in this family?
A
Binary Fisson
B
Sexual Reproduction
C
Asexual Reproduction
D
Regeneration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fragmentation. During the process of fragmentation, a fragment of the parent forms a new being. It occurs when a shoot that is rooted becomes detached from the main group. Multicellular organisms with simple body organization can divide or reproduce by fragmentation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction requires only one parent. There are many types of asexual reproduction. Four major types are: 1) Binary fission: Single parent cell doubles its DNA, then divides into two cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which offsprings arise from a single organism and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sexual propagation involves the floral parts of a plant. Asexual propagation involves taking a part of one parent plant and causing it to regenerate itself into a new plant. Genetically it is identical to its one parent. Asexual propagation involves the vegetative parts of a plant: stems, roots, or leaves.
