Why are identical offspring to the parents a disadvantage of asexual reproduction?

• Identical offspring are easier to raise and care for.
• Asexual reproduction allows for faster population growth.
• Identical offspring can adapt better to new environments.
• Identical offspring lack genetic diversity, making them more susceptible to diseases and environmental changes.

How do the genetics of the parents compare to the offspring in sexual reproduction?

• Offspring have a unique genetic combination from both parents.
• Offspring have no genetic relation to either parent.
• Offspring inherit all traits from the mother only.
• Offspring are genetically identical to one parent.

How do the genetics of the offspring compare to the parent in asexual reproduction?

• The offspring are genetically identical to the parent.
• The offspring inherit traits from multiple ancestors.
• The offspring are genetically different from the parent.
• The offspring have a mix of genes from both parents.

What is genetic continuity?

• The preservation of genetic information across generations

• The process of cell division resulting in genetically identical cells

• The introduction of genetic variation through meiosis

• The pairing and exchange of genetic material

How is genetic continuity maintained during mitosis?

• Through the precise duplication and segregation of chromosomes

• By reducing the chromosome number by half

• Through crossing over of homologous chromosomes

• By producing gametes with half the number of chromosomes

What is the role of meiosis in genetic continuity?

• To introduce genetic variation while preserving essential genetic information

• To ensure the replication of somatic cells

• To maintain the stability of species over time

• To support growth and tissue maintenance
