Which of the following are TRUE of asexual reproduction A : All life functions are carried on by cells

B: Requires only one parent

C :Is extremely rare in the
animal kingdom

D: Can only happen by the mother

E: Both plants and animals can do this

Explanation:

Some animals produce offspring through asexual reproduction while other animals produce offspring through sexual reproduction. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent. A single individual can produce offspring asexually and large numbers of offspring can be produced quickly; these are two advantages that asexually reproducing organisms have over sexually reproducing organisms. In a stable or predictable environment, asexual reproduction is an effective means of reproduction because all the offspring will be adapted to that environment. In an unstable or unpredictable environment, species that reproduce asexually may be at a disadvantage because all the offspring are genetically identical and may not be adapted to different conditions.

meiosis is the first to occur after the nuclei of opposite of opposite mating types fuse
