Asexual
reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to a single
parent. The offspring may either bud from the parent or by fission. An example
of this is Baker’s yeast. They are produced by budding. So as the small bud
grows from the parent, it receives the same nucleus of the parent. When it
pinches off from the parent, it is smaller but is genetically similar to the
parent. On the other hand sexual reproduction involves two parents that contribute
to the genetic material in order to produce a unique offspring. Your answer is
incorrect. The correct answer is letter B.
