Mitosis & Meiosis

The diagram below represents reproduction in a yeast cell. The genes in the bud are identical to the genes in the parent. This type of production of offspring is a form of

• sexual reproduction
• asexual reproduction
• gene manipulation
• genetic engineering

The diagram below represents division of a cell that produces two daughter cells. Which statement most likely describes the daughter cells produced?

• The daughter cells will pass on only half of the genetic information they received from the original cell.
• The daughter cells will each produce offspring that will have the same genetic information as the original cell.
• The daughter cells will each undergo the same mutations as the original cell after reproduction has occurred.
• The daughter cells will not pass on any of the genes that they received from the original cell.
