Question

onions can reproduce from bulbs. one parent bulb generates daughter bulbs with duplicate genetic information. which is the most likely advantage of this kind of reproduction?
population size remains constant.
beneficial mutations are inevitable.
genetic variation is maximized.
many offspring are produced rapidly.

Explanation:

• Asexual reproduction (like onion bulb reproduction) doesn't involve genetic recombination.
• Population size can increase (so "Population size remains constant" is wrong).
• Mutations are random and not "inevitable" in a positive sense here.
• Genetic variation is low in asexual reproduction (so "Genetic variation is maximized" is wrong).
• Asexual reproduction often allows for rapid production of many offspring.

Answer:

Many offspring are produced rapidly.
