Question

Which table most accurately describes the importance of each process to sexual reproduction?
A
Process 1 Exchange of genetic material
Process 2 Produces haploid cells
Process 3 Produces a diploid cell
B
Process 1 Produces haploid cells
Process 2 Produces diploid cells
Process 3 Exchange of genetic material
C
Process 1 Produces diploid cells
Process 2 Produces haploid cells
Process 3 Exchange of genetic material
D
Process 1 Exchange of genetic material
Process 2 Produces diploid cells
Process 3 Produces a haploid cell

Answer 1

A

Reason: Sexual reproduction depends on (1) exchange of genetic material (crossing over) to create variation, (2) production of haploid gametes through meiosis, and (3) fusion of gametes (fertilization) to produce a diploid zygote.
