Question

A student wants to use cookies to make a model of the genetic makeup of the offspring of asexual reproduction. He has vanilla cookies and
chocolate cookies available. How can he make his model?
O A. Put chocolate cookies in a row with arrows between them showing the progression from parent to offspring.
OB.
Use one chocolate cookle parent with arrows showing that it produces vanilla cookles and chocolate cookies as offspring.
Ос.
Use chocolate cookies and vanilla cookles as the parents, and vanilla cookies and chocolate cookies as the offspring
OD.
Use chocolate cookies and vanilla cookies as parents, and combine half a vanilla cookie and half a chocolate cookie for the
offspring.​

Answer 1

Answer:

it's option D

as there is a 50% probability that the offspring recieves each of the parents genetic material

Answer 2

The Correct Answer Is-

A. Put chocolate cookies in a row with arrows between them showing the progression from parent to offspring.

EXPLANATION-

• In asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved, therefore, the genetic makeup of the offspring from asexual reproduction is identical to the parent.
• Due to this reason, the offspring of asexual reproduction are also called clones.
• In asexual reproduction, no fusion of gametes takes place. The offspring of asexual reproduction receives all genes from the parent.
• Asexual reproduction occurs in most non-pathogenic bacteria, plants, fungi, and a few insects.
• Therefore the correct representation of asexual reproduction will be arranging chocolate cookies in a row separated by arrows.
• In sexual reproduction, two haploid cells from two parents fuse to make a diploid cell (zygote).
• This DNA of the zygote is the combination of the genetic material of its parents' gametes, carrying all the genetic information of the new individual.
• Therefore, the correct representation of sexual reproduction can be options B, C, and D.

Hence, The correct answer is option(A)
