Mitosis and reproduction quiz 05.01

In the process of reproduction, hereditary information is passed from one generation to the next. Some organisms reproduce asexually. How does an offspring produced by asexual reproduction (mitosis) compare to the parent organism?

• its genetic information is completely different from the parent organism

• one-quarter of its genetic information is the same as the parent organism

• one-half of its genetic information is the same as the parent organism

• all of its genetic information is the same as the parent organism
