Which statement describes asexual reproduction, but not sexual reproduction? a) new organisms are formed only after fertiliztion. b) a single cell will not develop into a full organism. c) daughter cells contain half the genetic material of the parent cell. d) daughter cells contain the same genetic information as parent cells.

Option D - Daughter cells contain the same genetic information as parent cells.

Explanation

Daughter cells contain the same genetic information as parent cells are the correct option because asexual reproduction is the type of reproduction in which there is no fusion of male and female gametes. This is in which generation emerge from an individual organism, and acquire the genes of that parent only. It does not include the fusion of gametes, and virtually never varies the number of chromosomes.

humans, along with other animals and plants, have linear chromosomes that are arranged in pairs within the nucleus of the cell. the only human cells that do not contain pairs of chromosomes are reproductive cells, or gametes, which carry just one copy of each chromosome.

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
