How are the processes of asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction different? Select three options.

Question

1.In both processes, all offspring have identical DNA.
2.They involve a different number of parents.
3.Only one process involves sperm and eggs.
4.Only one process involves meiosis.
5.Only one process involves cell division.

Answer 1

The processes of asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction are different in the following ways:

2. They involve a different number of parents.
   Asexual reproduction involves only one parent, while sexual reproduction involves two parents.

3. Only one process involves sperm and eggs.
   Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of sperm and eggs, whereas asexual reproduction does not involve gametes.

4. Only one process involves meiosis.
   Sexual reproduction typically involves meiosis, which produces gametes, while asexual reproduction does not involve meiosis and generally relies on mitosis.

These options highlight key differences between asexual and sexual reproduction.
