Question

How do sexual and asexual reproduction differ in inherited genetic material?

A.
In asexual reproduction, offspring are exact copies of the parent organism. In sexual reproduction, offspring get a unique combination of genes from parents.
B.
In asexual reproduction, offspring get a unique combination of genes from parents. In sexual reproduction, offspring are exact copies of the parent organism.
C.
In asexual reproduction, offspring differ from each other. In sexual reproduction, offspring are identical to each other.

Answer 1

Asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information. Sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation. Variations of inherited traits between parent and offspring arise from genetic differences that result from the subset of chromosomes (and therefore genes) inherited.
