The parent plant reproduced asexually to form the daughter plant. If the leaf cells of the parent plant have 24 chromosomes, which two statements are true of the daughter plant?

The daughter plant developed from a zygote.


The leaf cells of the daughter plant have 12 chromosomes.


The daughter plant is genetically similar to the parent plant.


The leaf cells of the daughter plant have 24 chromosomes.


The reproduction of the daughter plant involved meiosis.

Respuesta :

The daughter plant is genetically similar to the parent plant

The leaf cells of the daughter plant have 24 chromosomes 

Answer:

The daughter plant is genetically similar to the parent plant.

The leaf cells of the daughter plant have 24 chromosomes.

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction is the production of new organisms by single parent without meiosis. It produces the progeny that is genetically identical to the parent. Hence, an asexually reproducing plant would give rise to daughter plant that is genetically similar to the parent plant.

Since the leaf cells of parent plant have 24 chromosomes, the leaf cells of the daughter plant will also have 24 chromosomes.
