Which of the following statements about asexual reproduction is not true?

• Only one parent sex cell is needed.

• The offspring are copies of the parent.

• Most single celled organisms reproduce this way.

• It results in more variation in species than sexual reproduction.

Some organisms, such as hydras, reproduce by budding. During budding, a part of the hydra pitches off and forms another organism. Which of the following would be a characteristic of this kind of reproduction.

• Genetic variation occurs in this offspring.

• Two parents are required to contribute to this form of reproduction.

• Offspring take a long time to develop.

• The offspring are genetically identical to the parent.
