The correct table regarding asexual and sexual reproduction is C. Here’s the breakdown:

Asexual Reproduction:

Parent contributes 100% of its genes to offspring (the offspring are clones of the parent).
Produces genetically identical offspring (clones).
Offspring have a single parent.
Uses the process of mitosis.

Sexual Reproduction:

Parent contributes 50% of its genes to offspring (the offspring inherit genes from two parents).
Produces genetically distinct offspring (due to genetic variation).
Offspring have two parents.
Uses the process of meiosis (which creates gametes).

C accurately reflects these characteristics. The other options contain inaccuracies.
