____________________ Reproduction Produces Clones of the Parent

Question

____________________ reproduction produces clones of the parent.  
A) Meiotic
B) Mitotic
C) Eukaryotic
D) Translation
E) Gemmule

Accepted Answer

Mitotic reproduction produces clones of the parent, where the genetic information of the parent is duplicated and divided equally between the two daughter cells. This process is common in asexual reproduction of unicellular organisms and some multicellular organisms such as plants. Meiotic reproduction, on the other hand, produces genetically diverse offspring through the shuffling of chromosomes between the parent cells. Eukaryotic and translation are general terms that do not directly relate to reproduction, and gemmule reproduction is a type of reproduction found in sponges and does not necessarily produce clones of the parent.
