A few statements describing certain features of reproduction are given below:

i. Gametic fusion takes place.

ii. Transfer of genetic material takes place.

iii. The reduction division takes place.

iv. Progeny has a resemblance to parents.

Select the options that are true for both asexual and sexual reproduction.

(1) i and ii

(2) ii ans iii

(3) ii and iv

(4) i and iii

There are various types of reproduction. The type of reproduction adopted by an organism depends on:

1.The habitat and morphology of the organism

2.Morphology of the organism

3.Morphology and physiology of the organism

4.The organism’s habitat, physiology and genetic makeup

Offspring formed by sexual reproduction exhibit more variation than those formed by asexual reproduction because:

1.Sexual reproduction is a lengthy process

2.Gametes of parents have qualitatively different genetic composition

3.Genetic material comes from parents of two different species

4.Greater amount of DNA is involved in sexual reproduction.

Select the correct sequence of events.
