Organisms reproduce either sexually or asexually. Asexual reproduction is the reproductive process in which offspring have only one parent. Sexual reproduction involves two parents who combine their genetic material to produce a new offspring. Which of the pictures show asexual reproduction?

Question

Responses
A A & BA & B
B B & CB & C
C C & DC & D
D A, B, & CA, B, & C
Question 2
Consider the type of reproduction shown in example D. Which statement is NOT accurate in describing the process depicted?
Responses
A Offspring are genetically diverse.Offspring are genetically diverse.
B An egg and a sperm cell combine to form a zygote.An egg and a sperm cell combine to form a zygote.
C Offspring are genetically identical to their parent.Offspring are genetically identical to their parent.
D The egg and the sperm each contain half the number of chromosomes that are in other cells.

Answer 1

For Question 1, since I cannot see the pictures, I am unable to determine which images depict asexual reproduction. If you could provide descriptions or further context about the images A, B, C, and D, I would be glad to help you identify which represents asexual reproduction.

For Question 2, the statement that is NOT accurate in describing the process of sexual reproduction is:

C) Offspring are genetically identical to their parent.

In sexual reproduction, offspring are typically genetically diverse due to the combination of genetic material from two parents. This contrasts with asexual reproduction, where offspring are genetically identical to the parent.
