The statement that is not true about sexual reproduction is "The production of offspring involves mitosis"

SEXUAL REPRODUCTION:

  • Sexual reproduction is the process whereby offsprings are produced from the mating of two individual organisms.

  • One of the individual is the MALE organism while the other is the FEMALE organism.

  • The male organism produces a haploid gamete called SPERM while the female organism produces a haploid gamete called EGG. Both haploid (n) gametes are produced via meiosis.

  • Because of the meiotic process that gives rise to the gametes (sperm and egg), which come together during fertilization, the offsprings are genetically different from the parent organisms.

  • Note: Mitosis is not used for sexual reproduction but rather for somatic growth and repair.

Therefore, the statement that is not true about sexual reproduction is "The production of offspring involves mitosis"
