Question

homework - asexual reproduction
what type of reproduction is the starfish using?
○ budding, which is a type of sexual reproduction when both starfish are genetically unique
○ budding, which is a type of asexual reproduction where both starfish are genetically identical
○ regeneration, which is a type of asexual reproduction where both starfish are genetically identical
○ regeneration, which is a type of sexual reproduction where both starfish are genetically unique

Explanation:

Starfish can reproduce asexually through regeneration. In asexual reproduction, the offspring are genetically identical to the parent. Budding is a different form of asexual reproduction where a new organism grows from the body of the parent organism. Regeneration in starfish involves a part of the starfish (like an arm) developing into a new individual with the same genetic material as the original starfish.

Answer:

regeneration, which is a type of asexual reproduction where both starfish are genetically identical
