Eukaryotes Display the Earliest Version of Sexual Reproduction, Whereby

Question

Eukaryotes display the earliest version of sexual reproduction, whereby
A)separate male and female individuals within the same species mate.
B)females of one eukaryotes species mate with males of another eukaryotes species.
C)special cells called gametes fuse together to produce a new individual.
D)an individual splits into two individuals that then mate with one another.

Accepted Answer

Eukaryotes display sexual reproduction through the fusion of gametes. Gametes are specialized cells that fuse together to form a new individual with a combination of genetic material from both parents. This is a characteristic feature of sexual reproduction in eukaryotes. Option A is incorrect because eukaryotes may have separate male and female individuals within the same species, but they must still mate to produce offspring. Option B is incorrect because eukaryotes typically mate within their own species. Option D is incorrect because this describes a form of asexual reproduction called binary fission.
