Question 17 • Anatomy & Physiology A

Asexual reproduction is

Answer
A
the sole purpose of mitosis.
B
the ability to regenerate a lost body part.
C
creating a new life from only one parent.
D
the growth of cells within an organism.

Explanation

Asexual reproduction occurs when a new organism is produced from a single parent, without the joining of reproductive cells from two parents. Therefore, “creating a new life from only one parent” is the correct description. Regrowing a body part and growing cells within an organism are not, by themselves, asexual reproduction.
