A few statements describing certain features of reproduction are given below.
(i) Gametic fusion takes place.
(ii) Transfer of genetic material takes place.
(Iii) Reduction division takes place.
(iv) Progeny have some resemblance with parents.

A

I and II

B

II and III

C

II and IV

D

I and III

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In both types of reproduction (asexual and sexual) there is transfer of genetic material from parent (s) to their young ones which have some resemblances with their parents.
Reduction division (meiosis) has to occur if a diploid body has to produce haploid gametes that is in case of sexual reproduction only.
Gametic fusion The formation of male and female gametes and their fusion to form the zygote also takes place only in the sexual reproduction.
