Question

1 multiple answer 3 points select all of the phrases that apply to asexual reproduction in organisms. requires two parents little variation in offspring only one type of cell involved duplicates its genetic material occurs over a long amount of time

Explanation:

1. Analyze "requires two parents": Asexual reproduction needs only one parent, so this is incorrect.
2. Analyze "little variation in offspring": Asexual reproduction produces offspring with genetic material similar to the parent, so there is little variation. This is correct.
3. Analyze "only one type of cell involved": Asexual reproduction (e.g., binary fission, budding) involves one type of cell (the parent cell) dividing or producing offspring. This is correct.
4. Analyze "duplicates its genetic material": Before asexual reproduction (like mitosis in some cases), the parent cell duplicates its genetic material to pass it to the offspring. This is correct.
5. Analyze "occurs over a long amount of time": Asexual reproduction is generally a faster process compared to sexual reproduction. So this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. little variation in offspring, C. only one type of cell involved, D. duplicates its genetic material
