Question

Asexual reproduction produces large number of individuals. State whether true or false?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes, and almost never changes the number of chromosomes. For example, Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction where a new organism grows from a fragment of the parent. Each fragment develops into a mature, fully grown individual, thus asexual reproduction in many cases produce a large number of individuals.
