Question

4 multiple choice 1 point why would a scientist use asexual reproduction to grow two offspring of a plant, instead of using sexual reproduction? the plants would be an exact genetic match. the plants would have fewer recessive traits. the plants would have greater genetic diversity. the plants would be more likely to mutate. clear my selection

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent (clones), while sexual reproduction involves genetic recombination, leading to diversity. So a scientist would use asexual reproduction to get exact genetic matches. The other options are incorrect: fewer recessive traits isn't a result of asexual reproduction, greater genetic diversity is from sexual reproduction, and mutation likelihood isn't increased by asexual reproduction.

Answer:

A. The plants would be an exact genetic match.
