Answer 1

The correct option is C

A, B and C

A, B, C are correct.

• IVF is the process of fertilization by extracting eggs, retrieving a sperm sample, and then manually combining an egg and sperm in a laboratory dish. The embryo is then transferred to the mother's body.
• Asexual reproduction is fast and easy as it doesn't involve fusion of gametes from two organisms. The parent itself multiplies to produce two identical offspring.
• In the process of binary fission, the nucleus splits to form the offspring which is again a unicellular organism. The parent does not die.
• The fourth statement is wrong as in the process of metamorphosis, the larvae transform to form the adult moth.
