Which is a true statement about asexual reproduction?

(Select all that apply.)

Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring.

Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction.

Asexual reproduction happens only in prokaryotes.

Asexual reproduction cuts the amount of DNA found in cells in half.

Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring. Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction.

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction is that which occurs without gamete participation, ie there is no mixing of genetic material. In this process, a cell or group of them detaches from the body of a living being and gives rise to a new individual.

Individuals arising from asexual reproduction are genetically identical with each other, forming what is called a clone. These individuals will have different genetic heritage only if they undergo gene mutation, that is, alteration in the nitrogen base sequences of one or more DNA molecules.

There are several living beings that reproduce asexually among them, eukaryotes, prokaryotes, unicellular, multicellular, protists, bacteria, plants, animals, among others.

An example of asexual reproduction is binary fission, which consists of dividing a cell into two by mitosis, each with the same genome as the "mother cell" (with the same DNA or genetic material as the "mother cell").

Asexual reproduction only happens in prokaryotes.
