Question
Offsprings formed by asexual method of reproduction have greater similarity among themselves becauseI. asexual reproduction involves only one parent.II. asexual reproduction does not involve gametes.III. asexual reproduction occurs before sexual reproduction.IV. asexual reproduction occurs after sexual reproduction.I and III and IIIII and IVIII and IV
Solution
The correct answer is: I. asexual reproduction involves only one parent and II. asexual reproduction does not involve gametes.
This is because in asexual reproduction, there is only one parent, so no mixing of genes occurs. This results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Also, because asexual reproduction does not involve gametes, there is no chance for genetic variation that could occur during meiosis or fertilization.
Options III and IV are incorrect because the timing of asexual reproduction in relation to sexual reproduction does not affect the genetic similarity of the offspring.
