Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following statements are true about asexual reproduction? (chose all that apply)
A
Asexual reproduction requires only one parent.
B
The offspring in asexual reproduction are clones of the parent.
C
The offspring in asexual reproduction are produced by mitosis.
D
The offspring in asexual reproduction are produced by meiosis.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction requires only one parent. The offspring in asexual reproduction are clones of the parent. The offspring in asexual reproduction are produced by mitosis. The offspring in asexual reproduction are produced by meiosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction is a form of reproduction in which the offspring produced is exactly similar to the parent. Also, neither there is formation of two different gametes, nor there is an involvement of two different sexes. In case of unicellular organisms, mitosis is a mode of asexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring. Sexual and asexual reproduction have advantages and disadvantages-which is why some organisms do both!

Detailed explanation-4: -Which statement correctly describes the offspring of asexual reproduction? They result without the fusion of gametes.
