- Genetically identical cells produced as a result of asexual reproduction are called: clones siblings offsprings O hybridsarrow_forwardWhich of the following is true regarding where mitosis and meiosis occur within multicellular organisms? Meiosis occurs only in gamete-forming cells; all cells can perform mitosis. Meiosis occurs only in gamete-forming cells; mitosis is only for specialized dividing cells. Mitosis occurs only in gamete-forming cells; all cells can perform meiosis. Mitosis occurs only in gamete-forming cells; meiosis is only for specialized dividing cells.arrow_forwardMost eukaryotic organisms use sexual reproduction as their primary means of perpetuating their species. Gametes are formed via meiosis. However, some species primarily reproduce via asexual means. Reproduction is accomplished via mitosis. Aspen trees most commonly reproduce by such asexual methods of cloning.What are the advantages and disadvantages of reproduction by asexual means? Why do some species reproduce in this manner? Why don't all species?arrow_forward
