question 15
a reproductive process that involves two parents that combine genetic material to produce a new organism, which differs from both parents.
○ a external fertilization
○ b internal fertilization
○ c sexual reproduction
○ d asexual reproduction

Explanation:

Question 14

• Interphase: It is the phase where the cell is active in its normal functions, grows, and replicates its DNA.
• Mitotic (M) phase: This is when the cell's DNA (already replicated in interphase) is separated into two sets.
• Nucleus: During mitosis, the nucleus divides as part of separating the DNA into two sets.
• Cytokinesis: After mitosis (nuclear division), the cell divides its cytoplasm through cytokinesis.
• Two: Mitosis followed by cytokinesis results in two genetically identical daughter cells.

• External fertilization: Refers to fertilization that occurs outside the body (e.g., in water for many aquatic organisms), but it is a type of sexual reproduction.
• Internal fertilization: Fertilization occurs inside the body, also a type of sexual reproduction.
• Sexual reproduction: Involves two parents contributing genetic material (gametes) to form a new organism (zygote) that has a combination of genes from both parents, so it differs from both.
• Asexual reproduction: Only one parent is involved, and the offspring is genetically identical (or very similar with some minor mutations in some cases) to the parent.
