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 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-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: -Fission. In fission (or binary fission), a parent separates into two or more individuals of about equal size. This type of reproduction is common among single-celled organisms, including bacteria, archaea, and unicellular eukaryotes, such as protists and some fungi. The single cell divides into two daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is a phase of the cell cycle in which a cell’s nucleus is divided into two nuclei, each with an equal quantity of genetic material. It is an asexual reproductive process that occurs in unicellular organisms. Thus, mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs during the asexual reproduction process.
