Question

via vegetative reproduction.
using tubers.
asexually.
A) In binary fission, DNA from the parent cell _________ before it produces daughter cells. (1 point)
coils up
produces cytoplasm
moves toward one pole
replicates
A) Which is the most likely explanation for a child exhibiting a heritable trait that neither parent exhibits? (1 point)
A mutation occurred, and the child exhibits a new trait due to the mutation.
The parents have recessive alleles, and the child inherited a dominant allele.
A grandparent exhibits the trait, and the child inherited it directly from that person.
The trait is recessive, and the child inherited a recessive allele from each parent.
A) Which process would lead to offspring with the exact same genetic information as the parent? (1 point)
A plant growing from a seed.
A bird laying an egg.
A bacterium splitting in two.
A tree growing from the stump of another tree.
