Question

The offspring formed as a result of asexual reproduction exhibit no variations because ______.

विकल्प

• it is a lengthy process

• genetic material comes from two parents of different species

• genetic material comes from two parents of same species

• genetic material comes from only one parent

Answer 1

The offspring formed as a result of asexual reproduction exhibit no variations because genetic material comes from only one parent.

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction involves a single parent without any gamete fusion, meaning the genetic material comes from only one parent through mitotic division. As a result, the exact same genetic material passes directly to the next generation, producing identical clones without variation. In contrast, contributions of genetic material from two parents lead to sexual variations, while being a lengthy process has no biological effect on genetic diversity.
