Question

The production of a new individual from the parent is called

• A. Reproduction
• B. Propagation
• C. Cloning
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Reproduction

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. The offspring that arise by asexual reproduction, either from a single cell or from a multicellular organism, inherit the genes of their single parent.

When two parents are involved in reproduction, the method is called sexual reproduction. The male and female gametes fuse during fertilization to produce the zygote. The zygote subsequently develops into an embryo which further develops into a new individual.

In either case, the new individual arises from the parent.

So the correct option is "Reproduction".
