1. Which statement correctly describes cells produced through asexual reproduction?

a. They are genetically identical to their parents

b. They do not grow and divide

They do not contain genetic material

d. They have a unique set of genetic instructions, unlike their parents

The correct option is A. They are genetically identical to their parents

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction can be described as a type of reproduction in which two daughter cells are formed which are identical to the parent cell and each other. The genome of the daughter cells in identical to the parent cell. Hence, option A is correct.

Other options are false. Option b is false because these cells can divide and grow. Option C is false because these cells contain genetic material which is similar to the parent cells. Option D is false because they do not have a unique genetic structure. There genome is similar to the parent cells.
