Based on your question and knowledge of reproduction, the true statements are:
A. In asexual reproduction, only one parent contributes genetic information to the offspring.
C. If a species of sexually reproducing organisms has 28 chromosomes, they receive a full set of 28 chromosomes from each parent.
D. Sexual reproduction increases genetic variation of a species.
E. Cells divide through the processes of mitosis and meiosis.
B is false because sexual reproduction does not produce offspring that are genetically identical to the parent; it results in genetically varied offspring due to the combination of genetic material from both parents.
