21 The picture shows a mother cat with her offspring. Which characteristic of the offspring confirm they were produced by sexual reproduction? A. the number of the offspring B. the diverse fur of the offspring C. the identical sizes of the offspring D. the different species of the offspring

Answer 1

#ExplanationSexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves the combination of genetic material from two parents to produce offspring. The offspring produced through sexual reproduction are genetically different from their parents, which leads to genetic diversity. This diversity is often visible in the physical characteristics of the offspring, such as their fur color, pattern, or texture in the case of cats. Option A, the number of offspring, is not a valid indicator of sexual reproduction as both sexual and asexual reproduction can result in multiple offspring. Option C, the identical sizes of the offspring, is also not a valid indicator as size is not necessarily a genetically determined trait and can be influenced by environmental factors such as nutrition. Option D, the different species of the offspring, is not possible in sexual reproduction. Offspring produced through sexual reproduction belong to the same species as their parents.#AnswerB. the diverse fur of the offspring
