Options

B I and IV
C II and III
D II and IV
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Both sexual and asexual reproduction involve the transfer of genetic material from parent(s) to offspring (II). In both types, offspring resemble their parents (IV), though asexual offspring are genetically identical clones. Gametogenesis (I) and reduction division (meiosis) (III) are specific to sexual reproduction.

Hint

Do both types pass on genes? Do offspring look like parents in both?
