Question

Which of the following statements are true?

One of the primary benefits of asexual reproduction is that it results in genetic variation.

The world's oldest clonal plant is a bristlecone pine named Methusaleh that lives in the White mountains of the Sierra Nevada range.

One of the primary benefits of asexual reproduction is that it is not necessary to find a mate.

Mitosis and meiosis both produce two daughter cells identical to the parent cell. However, meiosis does so without chromosomal doubling.

In asexual reproduction, one parent gives rise to genetically identical offspring known as clones.

In plants, meiosis results in the production of spores which will undergo mitosis to become a multicellular haploid adult known as a gametophyte.

A genet is the entire family of clonal offspring, while a ramet is a potentially independent segment of a genet.

Dandelions are the only plants known to reproduce asexually.

The characteristic of plant growth that most makes asexual reproduction possible is the existence of persistent embryonic tissues in the form of meristems.

A sexually pairing among humans has the potential to result in nearly a million genetically unique offspring.
