Question

Which statement describes asexual reproduction, but not sexual reproduction? A) New organisms are formed only after fertiliztion. B) A single cell will not develop into a full organism. C) Daughter cells contain half the genetic material of the parent cell. D) Daughter cells contain the same genetic information as parent cells.

Answer 1

Option D - Daughter cells contain the same genetic information as parent cells.

Explanation

Daughter cells contain the same genetic information as parent cells are the correct option because asexual reproduction is the type of reproduction in which there is no fusion of male and female gametes. This is in which generation emerge from an individual organism, and acquire the genes of that parent only. It does not include the fusion of gametes, and virtually never varies the number of chromosomes.
