Which of the following statements is NOT true? Group of answer choices Sexual reproduction produces clones. In sexual reproduction, a human offspring receives two genes for every trait. Sexual reproduction puts together new combinations of genes. In asexual reproduction, the parent passes a complete set of genes to its offspring. In sexual reproduction, both meiosis and fertilization must occur during the life cycle.

Which of the following is NOT a reason that sexual reproduction provides an advantage over asexual reproduction? A: Sexual reproduction ensures that fertilization only occurs with gametes that have the best combination of alleles for the environment the offspring will be born into. B: Sexual reproduction produces unique combinations of alleles of different genes, providing genetic diversity that may be beneficial as the environment changes.
All of the following are correct about asexual reproduction EXCEPT (A) it can create numerous offspring quickly (B) the offspring are genetically identical to the parent (C) it enables animals living in isolation to reproduce without a mate (D) there is no expenditure of energy maintaining reproductive systems or hormonal cycles (E) it is advantageous when the environment is changing and the organism is stressed
