What is the type of nuclear division associated with sexual reproduction?
Mitosis
Meiosis
All of the offspring of an organism have the same genetic material, which is identical to the parent organism. From this, we can conclude that this organism -
makes its own food
is unicellular
live in a marine habitat
reproduces asexually
onto future generations

Sexual reproduction
Asexual reproduction
