MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In sexual reproduction, offspring inherit two copies of the DNA of each parent.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the process of sexual reproduction, haploid gametes produced by the meiotic division fuses to form a diploid zygote. A child inherits half of the genetic material from each parent. So, it may be they look alike but they are not identical to their parents.

Detailed explanation-2: -In sexual reproduction, offspring inherit half the DNA of each parent. Asexual reproduction involves one parent organism. Diploid cells are cells that have pairs of chromosomes. Sex cells have only one chromosome from each pair of chromosomes.

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.

Detailed explanation-4: -DNA is inherited from each parent by the process of reproduction. Reproduction is the process of the formation of a new individual to pass down the genetics by the process of fusion of the male and female gamete. DNA is passed from the mother in the egg. It is passed down from the father in the sperm.

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual reproduction results in a clone of the parent, meaning the offspring have identical DNA as the parent.
