Select the correct statements from the following regarding asexual reproduction.
I. It is slower than sexual reproduction.
II. It involve a single parent.
III. It produces progeny that are genetically identical with the parent.
IV. Clones are the progeny of asexual reproduction
I, II, III, IV
I, II, IV
I, II, III
II, III, IV
D.
II, III, IV
Statement II, III and IV are correct.
Asexual reproduction is a rapid mode of reproduction involving single parent. Since, no meiosis and gametic fusion occur, genetic variation is not observed in offspring. These are clones of their parent and are genetically identical. It is a uniparental phenomenon. The organisms increase their mass and maturity until at a critical point. They reproduce by simple division of their substance. Each successive organism has the same physio-chemical constitution as the parent.
Multiplication of genetically identical copies of a cultiver by asexual reproduction is known as
aclonal propagation
clonal propagation
vegetative propagation
polyclonal propagation
Switch
