Questions and Answers
Which process involves the production of genetically identical offspring by mitosis?
Which process involves the production of genetically identical offspring by mitosis?
- Fertilization
- Sexual reproduction
- Meiosis
- Asexual reproduction (correct)
What is the difference between asexual and sexual reproduction?
What is the difference between asexual and sexual reproduction?
- Asexual reproduction results in a generation-to-generation sequence of stages, while sexual reproduction does not
- Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring, while sexual reproduction produces offspring with unique combinations of genes (correct)
- Asexual reproduction requires two parents, while sexual reproduction only requires one parent
- Asexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes, while sexual reproduction does not

Study Notes
Reproduction
- Asexual reproduction involves the production of genetically identical offspring by mitosis, where a single parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells with identical genetic material.
- Sexual reproduction, on the other hand, involves the fusion of gametes from two parents to produce offspring with a unique combination of genetic traits.
Cloning
- A clone is an organism that is genetically identical to another organism, produced through asexual reproduction.
Chromosomes
- Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes, which are chromosomes that are not involved in determining the sex of an organism.
- Human somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs.
