Question

what is a characteristic feature of asexual reproduction? it requires a lot of effort. it only involves one parent. it involves two parents.

Explanation:

To determine the characteristic of asexual reproduction, we analyze each option:

• "It requires a lot of effort" is incorrect as asexual reproduction is generally less energy - intensive compared to sexual reproduction.
• "It only involves one parent" is correct. In asexual reproduction, a single parent organism produces offspring that are genetically identical (or nearly identical) to itself. There is no fusion of gametes from two different parents.
• "It involves two parents" is a characteristic of sexual reproduction, where gametes from two parents (male and female) fuse to form a zygote.

Answer:

B. It only involves one parent.
