Which best describes reproduction?

a. asexual reproduction produces offspring that are identical to the parent.
b. sexual reproduction allows for diploid gametes to combine to increase genetic variation.
c. asexual reproduction leads to the formation of haploid gametes.
d. sexual reproduction does not require the production of gametes.

The right answer is A.

Reproduction is the production of offspring from parental organisms.

Sexual reproduction is the production of a new organism that is genetically different from the parents from an egg resulting from the fusion of parental gametes (haploid cells) of the opposite sex.

Asexual reproduction is the formation of genetically identical offspring from a single parental organism (which is diploid).

the way that the mass of carbon can be conserved through cellular respiration is through a process/law called the law of conservation of mass which even tho it undergoes a process, mass is not be destroyed or changed
