Identify the incorrect statement. a. In asexual reproduction, the offspring produced are morphologically and genetically identical to the parent

Asexual reproduction is that type of reproduction in which only single parent is involved. Asexual reproduction takes place by different methods like Budding, Binary fission etc.  → Budding: This type of...

Oviparous animals lay eggs outside their body. As a result, the eggs of these animals are under continuous threat from various environmental factors. On the other hand, in viviparous animals,...

Offspring formed by asexual reproduction are called clones because they are morphologically and genetically similar to the parent.

Halving of chromosomal number takes place during gametogenesis and regaining the 2n number occur as a result of fertilisation.

Asexual reproduction does not involve genetic fusion while sexual reproduction involves fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote. Species reproducing sexually have better chances of survival. This is...

Asexual Reproduction Sexual Reproduction 1. Involves only one parent 2. Gametes are not produced. 3. No fertilisation and zygote formation. 4. Meiosis does not occur at anytime during reproduction. 1. often involves two parents. 2. Gametes are...

Sexual reproduction promotes diversity of characters in the offsprings. It results in new combination of genes.

a. Offspring do not possess exact copies of parental DNA

b. Gametes of parents have qualitatively different genetic composition

During asexual reproduction (i) Due to absence of fertilization and meiosis. There is lack of crossing over during meiosis. (ii) So no new recombination are produced and the offspring produced are genetically...
