Asexual and Sexual Reproduction

Question 9 • First Semester Biology

Which process produces a greater number of offspring?

Answer
A
chromosome duplication
B
asexual reproduction
C
gamete formation
D
sexual reproduction

Explanation

Asexual reproduction can produce many offspring quickly because one parent can reproduce without finding a mate or producing gametes. Chromosome duplication and gamete formation are cellular processes, not ways of producing offspring by themselves. Sexual reproduction requires two gametes to join, so it generally produces offspring less rapidly.
