Compared to the parent(s) , the DNA of the offspring of sexual and asexual reproduction are different. True or False?
A) True. Asexual reproduction results in more mutations in the DNA of the offspring than sexual reproduction.
B) False. In both cases the DNA of the offspring is identical to that of the parent(s) .
C) True. The offspring of sexual reproduction have DNA mostly identical to the parents, while the offspring of asexual reproduction have DNA quite different from the parent.
D) False. Sexual and asexual reproduction both scramble the DNA of the parents so the offspring gets a different mix of alleles than the parent(s) had.
E) True. In asexual reproduction the DNA of the offspring is a copy of the DNA of the parent, while in sexual reproduction, the DNA of the offspring is a unique combination of the parents' DNA.
