|
takes a short amount of time
|
|
|
provides genetic variation-all offspring are different
|
|
|
no mate required in order to reproduce
|
|
|
provides no genetic variation-all offspring are the same
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The next part states “Asexual reproduction creates offspring that are all genetically different.” We have just learned that asexual reproduction always produces genetically identical offspring. This means that this part of the summary is the incorrect part.
Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual species, on the other hand, do not have genetic variability like we do-each of their offspring has the exact same genetic makeup as their parent.
Detailed explanation-3: -It does not involve the formation of gametes. Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction whereby the parent cell divides to form two daughter cells. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
Detailed explanation-4: -Offsprings are identical to the parent genetically and morphologically. They are the exact copy or clone of the parent. There is no recombination of genetic material takes place in asexual reproduction. Hence, there is no variation or genetic variability seen in the individual produced by asexual reproduction.
Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent.
