Question

which process would lead to offspring with the exact same genetic information as the parent? (1 point) a bird laying an egg. a plant growing from a seed. a bacterium splitting in two. a tree growing from the stump of another tree.

Explanation:

A bird laying an egg, a plant growing from a seed are examples of sexual reproduction which combines genetic material from two parents. A bacterium splitting in two is binary - fission (asexual reproduction) and a tree growing from the stump of another tree is vegetative propagation (asexual reproduction). Asexual reproduction produces offspring with the exact same genetic information as the parent. Binary - fission and vegetative propagation are asexual. But binary - fission is a more straightforward form of asexual reproduction where the parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells.

Answer:

C. A bacterium splitting in two
