Multiple choice

Asexual reproduction involves ___________.

  1. none of the parents

  2. both the parents

  3. only one parent

  4. gamete formation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Asexual reproduction involves only division of cells to form new individuals. This requires only one parent. Since two organisms are not involved, the role of gametes or their fusion is out of the logic. Also, reproduction cannot occur without a parent because a new organism is derived from the old (and not by magic). Hence, (3) is correct.
