Question
Select all the correct answers.The parent plant reproduced asexually to form the daughter plant. If the leaf cells of the parent plant have 24 chromosomes, which two statements are true of the daughter plant?
Solution
-
The daughter plant will also have 24 chromosomes in its leaf cells. This is because asexual reproduction involves the transfer of the exact genetic material from the parent to the offspring, resulting in identical chromosome numbers.
-
The daughter plant is genetically identical to the parent plant. Since asexual reproduction does not involve the mixing of genetic material from two parents, the offspring is a clone of the parent plant.
