NEET · Biology · STD 12 - 1. sexual reproduction in flowering plants
Product of sexual reproduction generally generates
- A new genetic combination leading to variation
- B large biomass
- C longer viability of seeds
- D prolonged dormancy.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) new genetic combination leading to variation
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(a) : Sexual reproduction always involves meiosis (zygotic in case of haploid individuals and gametic in case of diploid individuals). Meiosis results in crossing over between chromosomes during prophase I generating new recombinations. Besides, sexual reproduction generally involves combination of genes from two different organisms. Thus, sexual reproduction generates new genetic combinations leading to variations.
