Question

Which of the following statement is true about asexual reproduction?

• A. New individuals are produced without fusion of gametes
• B. Offsprings are genetically different from the parent
• C. Fusion of gametes are required to produce individuals.
• D. Genetic variations occur through asexual reproduction.

Answer 1

The correct option is A New individuals are produced without fusion of gametes

Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which new individuals are produced without fusion of gametes. Offsprings produced by asexual reproduction are different from parents and genetic variation does not occur. In contrast, sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation.
