A product of asexual reproduction differs from its parent by a base pair change. This change occurred due to

A) meiosis

B) translocation

C) mutation

D) fertilization

E) recombination

Solution

The answer is C) Mutation

Explanation - A point mutation or a single base modification (single base pair change) is a type of mutation that causes a single nucleotide substitution deletion or insertion.

Because this is asexual reproduction, meiosis, fertilization and recombination are not posssible.
