Life Science Review: Reproduction

Which statement correctly gives a difference about the exchange of genetic material in sexual and asexual reproduction?

• Genetic material is passed down from just 1 parent in sexual reproduction and from 2 parents in asexual reproduction.

• Genetic variation is more likely in asexual reproduction than in sexual reproduction.

• For both types of reproduction, the genetic material in the offspring is identical to the parents.

• Genetic material is passed down from 2 parents in sexual reproduction and just 1 parent in asexual reproduction.
