Which statement is true regarding sexual reproduction as a method of producing offspring?

a. it is uncommon among mammals.

b. it is not usually a method used by plants

c. it produces offspring that are genetically identical

d. it requires more resources and time than asexual reproduction.

D

Explanation:

It can’t be A because mammals use sexual reproduction. Examples can be humans, cats, dogs, etc.

It can’t be B because plants do use sexual reproduction to reproduce. If you didn’t know, pollen acts like the sperm from a male. It is transported to a female flower where the eggs are held. I don’t know the specifics, but that is the basics to it.

It can’t be C because the offspring produced will have half of the DNA from one parent and half the DNA from the other. Think of your parents. They aren’t exactly the same as you and you aren’t exactly the same as them. Asexual reproduction will produce identical offspring because it just splits into two like bacteria do.

It is D. Think of when your mom becomes pregnant and has to nurture her baby in her belly. It takes about 9 months. For asexual reproduction, it just needs to split into two, which is much faster.
