Mitosis & Meiosis Quiz

Asexual reproduction produces offspring that each contain

• a unique combination of genetic information
• genetic information from one parent
• genetic information from two parents
• less genetic information than either parent

Which statement best describes the relationship between the parent plant and the offspring above?

• The cells of the offspring contain half the amount of DNA as the parent.
• The cells of the parent plant have more genetic diversity than the offspring
• The cells of the offspring have the same genetic content as the cells of the parent plant.
• The parent plant provides genetic material through its gametes.

The process above is

• mitosis
• meiosis
• fertilization

• occurs in meiosis and leads to less diversity in the offspring

• occurs in mitosis and leads to greater diversity in the offspring

• occurs in meiosis and leads to greater diversity in the offspring
