Asexual and Sexual Reproduction

Question 11 • PA Human Anatomy & Physiology A 2026-2027 SMITH IC

Which of these pairings is correct?

Answer
A
mitosis, part of asexual reproduction because it produces diploids
B
mitosis, part of sexual reproduction because it produces haploids
C
meiosis, part of asexual reproduction because it produces haploids
D
meiosis, part of sexual reproduction because it produces diploids

Explanation

Mitosis is used in asexual reproduction and typically produces cells with the same chromosome number as the parent cell. In a diploid organism, those cells are diploid, so the correct pairing is “mitosis, part of asexual reproduction because it produces diploids.” Meiosis is associated with sexual reproduction and produces haploid cells, not diploids.
