Question

which statement is true about both sexual and asexual reproduction?
choose 1 answer:
a offspring get genes from more than one parent.
b genes are passed from parents to offspring.
c offspring have different combinations of traits compared to their parents.

Explanation:

• Option A: In asexual reproduction, offspring get genes from only one parent. So this option is incorrect.
• Option B: In both sexual (where genes come from two parents) and asexual (where genes come from one parent) reproduction, genes are passed from parents (either one or two) to offspring. This is a fundamental aspect of reproduction.
• Option C: In asexual reproduction, offspring are usually genetically identical to the parent (barring mutations). So this option is incorrect.

Answer:

B. Genes are passed from parents to offspring.
