The diagram below shows two strawberry plants. Plant 2 is produced asexually from Plant 1. If the leaf cells of Plant 1 have 56 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be found in the leaf cells of Plant 2? (SC.912.L.16.17)

14
28
56
112

1 answer

The number of chromosomes in asexually reproduced plants remains the same as the parent plant. Therefore, the leaf cells of Plant 2 will also have 56 chromosomes.

So, the correct answer is 56 chromosomes.
