Question

In the sexual mode of reproduction, greater diversities are generated.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The given statement is true. The daughter cells produced by asexual reproduction are similar to their parent i.e., they are genetically identical to their parent. In contrast, sexual reproduction produces a similar but genetically different offspring. In the process of sexual reproduction, haploid gametes produced by the meiotic division fuses to form a diploid zygote. A child inherits half of the genetic material from each parent. So, it may be they look alike but they are not identical to their parents. Instead, the child has the combination of characteristics inherited from both parents. Therefore, we can say that in sexual mode of reproduction, greater diversities are generated.
