Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Jellyfish reproduce sexually. Which of the following best describes a jellyfish polyp (offspring)?
A
The jellyfish polyp will be genetically identical to the parent jellyfish.
B
The jellyfish polyp will be a diverse combination of the parent jellyfish genetic material.
C
The jellyfish polyp will have twice as much genetic material as the parent jellyfish.
D
The jellyfish polyp will be genetically identical to its siblings
E
The jellyfish polyp not have variations that will help it adapt to its environment
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Jellyfish reproduce sexually. Which of the following best describes a jellyfish polyp (offspring)? The jellyfish polyp will be genetically identical to the parent jellyfish.

Detailed explanation-2: -During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, whereas sexual reproduction produces a similar, but genetically unique offspring.

Detailed explanation-4: -Uniform offspring: Because offspring inherit all of their DNA from one parent, they are genetically identical to each other and to their parent.
