A student wants to use cookies to make a model of the genetic makeup of the offspring of asexual reproduction. He has vanilla cookies and chocolate cookies available. How can he make his model?
A.
Put chocolate cookies in a row with arrows between them showing the progression from parent to offspring.
B.
Use one chocolate cookie parent with arrows showing that it produces vanilla cookies and chocolate cookies as offspring.
C.
Use chocolate cookies and vanilla cookies as the parents, and vanilla cookies and chocolate cookies as the offspring.
D.
Use chocolate cookies and vanilla cookies as parents, and combine half a vanilla cookie and half a chocolate cookie for the offspring.
It seems to be the most logical. My reasoning is that for B when it uses one parent cookie that produced genetically different offspring. That is what makes it incorrect. The other two options involve two parents which means that the reproduction would be sexual. A. would be the closest to the answer.
Please let me know if this is correct! Hope it helped.
