Question

Choose the correct statements about reproduction.

a) Reproduction produces progeny with more or less similar features to the parents.

b) Reproduction occurs by involving one parent (asexual) or two parents (sexual).

c) Budding and fragmentation are the types of asexual reproduction.

d) Reproduction is not observed in non-living organisms.

• A. All of the above
• B. All except I
• C. All except IV
• D. All except III

Answer 1

The correct option is A All of the above

• Reproduction is the biological process through which a new individual, i.e. offspring is produced by their parents.
• It is of two types - sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction.
• Asexual reproduction occurs through the involvement of the single parent.
• It occurs by many methods, e.g. Binary fission, budding, fragmentation, etc.
• Asexually reproduced offspring is an identical copy of its parents.
• Sexual reproduction occurs through the involvement of two parents and, therefore, sexually reproduced offspring are less similar to their parents.
• Reproduction is the characteristic feature of living beings.

So, the correct answer is option A.
