Question 5 • First Semester Biology
Asexual reproduction involves one parent and does not combine genetic material from two gametes, so its offspring are generally genetically identical to the parent. In sexual reproduction, haploid gametes—not diploid gametes—join, and gamete production is required. Therefore, the factual statement is “Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are identical to the parent.”
