Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	true
B	false
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -When these haploid gametes fuse to form a zygote, the zygote will have 23+23= 46 chromosomes which are equal to the number of chromosomes in the parent cell. Hence both the parents and offspring have the equal number of chromosomes.

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: -Each parent contributes 23 chromosomes. Bacteria reproduce asexually.

Detailed explanation-5: -The correct answer is (E) Sexual reproduction produces a greater variation in a spring than asexual reproduction.
