Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Type of reproduction that makes an identical copy of a parent cell
A
sexual reproduction
B
asexual reproduction
C
internal fertilization
D
external fertilization
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which single parent is involved. In this process, there is no formation or fusion of the gametes. The offspring which is produced by this type of asexual reproduction is genetically same and identical to the parent cell.

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: -The parent cell simply divides to form two daughter cells that are identical to the parent. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, whereas sexual reproduction produces a similar, but genetically unique offspring.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent. The new individuals produced are genetically and physically identical to each other, i.e., they are the clones of their parents. Asexual reproduction is observed in both multicellular and unicellular organisms.

Detailed explanation-5: -In biology, binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction where a parent cell divides, resulting in two identical cells, each having the potential to grow to the size of the original cell.
