Asexual reproduction does not introduce:
Correct answer: A. Variation
- A. Variation
- B. Similarity between parents and offspring
- C. Same chromosomal number in offsprings
- D. All of the choices are incorrect
Explanation
Asexual reproduction typically produces offspring that are genetically identical or nearly identical to the parent organism, and as a result, it does not introduce the genetic variations associated with sexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, a single parent organism can produce offspring without the involvement of gametes (sperm and egg cells) and the fusion of genetic material.

About Reproduction
Human reproduction covers the male and female reproductive organs, gamete formation, fertilization, implantation and hormonal regulation. The menstrual cycle includes ovarian and uterine changes controlled by pituitary and ovarian hormones, while sexually transmitted diseases are studied through their causes, transmission, symptoms, prevention and effects on fertility.
