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.
