Question

Which of the following statement(s) is/are false about asexual reproduction?

• A. Only plants reproduce by asexual means.
• B. All multicellular organisms perform asexual reproduction.
• C. In asexual reproduction two organisms of different sex are involved.
• D. Offsprings formed are identical copies of their parents.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

In asexual reproduction two organisms of different sex are involved.

Asexual reproduction is a form of reproduction in which the offspring produced is exactly similar to the parent. Also, neither there is formation of two different gametes, nor there is an involvement of two different sexes. In case of unicellular organisms, mitosis is a mode of asexual reproduction.
