Why is parthenogenesis in bees considered to be a form of asexual reproduction? Select one: a. The male drone is made from a haploid egg. Fertilization is not part of the process to make a male drone. b. The formation of the original haploid cell was achieved using binary fission. c. Although genetic material is transferred from one cell to another using conjugation, the resulting cells will be identical to each other. d. The haploid male bees were made through the process of meiosis, so they are identical to the parent egg cell.
Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction. What is an advantage of asexual reproduction when compared to sexual reproduction? a Asexual organisms are less likely to have mutations in their DNA than sexual organisms are. b An organism that reproduces asexually can reproduce much more quickly than an organism that reproduces sexually. c An asexual organism lives longer than an organism that reproduces sexually. d An organism that reproduces asexually is better equipped to respond to environmental changes than an organism that reproduces sexually.
