When an organism reproduces asexually, it usually has:
|
|
two parents, and the same chromosome number as each parent
|
|
|
two parents, and twice as much DNA as either parent
|
|
|
only one parent, and the same chromosome number as the parent
|
|
|
only one parent, and half as much DNA as the parent
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -During asexual reproduction organisms undergo only mitotic divisions. The DNA in the chromosomes) of the cells involved are copied and then equally divided among the two daughter cells formed. Thus, chromosome number remains unchanged.
