Question

asexual reproduction relies on mitosis only. true false

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction involves processes like binary fission (in bacteria), budding (in yeast), fragmentation (in some plants), etc. In all these, the parent cell divides by mitosis (in eukaryotes) or a process similar to mitosis (in prokaryotes) to produce offspring that are genetically identical (clones) to the parent. There is no formation of gametes through meiosis (which is characteristic of sexual reproduction). So, asexual reproduction relies on mitosis (or mitosis - like processes) only.

Answer:

True
