|
|
Genes carry genetic information
|
|
|
An offspring is made of cells
|
|
|
The genetic information from two organisms combines
|
|
|
An offspring inherits a set of traits identical to the parents
|
Detailed explanation-1: -In asexual reproduction, there is no fusion of male and female gamete and offspring develops from single parent because of which new individual is exact copy of parent and inherit same genetic traits. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis does not occur during asexual reproduction. Meiosis is the process of producing gametes (eggs and sperm). Mitosis, on the other hand, is simply the process of cell division.
Detailed explanation-3: -Budding. In budding, organisms reproduce by having new individuals split off from existing ones, which results in genetically identical parent and daughter organisms.
Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent. The new individuals produced are genetically and physically identical to each other, i.e., they are the clones of their parents. Asexual reproduction is observed in both multicellular and unicellular organisms.
Detailed explanation-5: -In sexual reproduction, an organism combines the genetic information from each of its parents and is genetically unique. In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.
