Detailed explanation-1: -The statement is false. The daughter cells produced by asexual reproduction are similar to their parent. In contrast, sexual reproduction produces a similar but genetically different offspring. In the process of sexual reproduction, haploid gametes produced by the meiotic division fuses to form a diploid zygote.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique.
Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent. A single individual can produce offspring asexually and large numbers of offspring can be produced quickly.
Detailed explanation-5: -Sexual reproduction requires two parents. Each parent contributes a gamete-a sex cell that has half of the normal DNA of a regular body cell. In males, the gametes are sperm and in females, the gametes are eggs.
