Offspring which arise as a contiguous outgrowth of the parent is called?
Offspring which arise as a contiguous outgrowth of the parent is called budding. The process of a parent cell dividing into a large number of genetically identical cells all at once is known as multiple fission.
Why is the offspring not identical to parent in asexual reproduction?
The offspring is not identical to parent in sexual reproduction because sexual reproduction produces an offspring that is genetically different from the parents. ---- The answer above is actually incorrect. The offspring is identical genetically to the parent because mitosis produces cells genetically identical to the parent cell or cells. But the offspring itself is not identical.
How are sex cells different from parent cells?
Sex cells contain half the number of chromosomes. This is so that when sexual reproduction occurs, and the two sex cells from the parents combine, the offspring ends up with the correct number of chromosomes (half from each parent).
Type of nucleic acid that passes from parent to offspring and directs all the cells functions?
Type of nucleic acid that passes from parent to offspring and directs all the cell's functions?
What is the process called when two cells combine?
called a compound

What are the protozoa that are not capable of indipendant movement called?
the transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring by means of the genes in the chromosomes of cells
How many chromosomes dose each parent pass to their offspring?
When a parent is going to have an offspring the offspring only gets half a chromosome from each parent, they combine to make one chromosome then that chromosome gets copied until there are 23 pairs of chromosome's. This is how you get your features.
What comes from the female parent?
It's called an Egg. or an ovum, a female gamete
Male and female reproductive cells combine to form offspring with genetic material from both cells?
Yes.
The transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring by means of the genes in the chromosomes of cells?
heredity

When sex cells randomly combine during fertilization to produce offspring there is?
increase genetic diversity
What is it called when two parent cells produce an offspring?
its.makes the aroma of the plant more smelly and the wind blows it around which is an asexual reproduction
When sex cells combine to produce offspring sex cell will contribute what?
Half the number of chromosomes in body cells😜😘
What happens to the parent cell when the ameba reproduces?
The two new offspring cells separate and the parent cell no longer exists
