what type of reproduction is used when each offspring has two alleles for every trait?

Answer 1

Hi Grace C.,

Not sure what the point of this question is -- but I would assume the answer "sexual reproduction" would suffice -- with associated random segregation of chromosomes, etc. However, that's not exactly right -- since polyploid organisms (4n, 6n, 8n, etc.) can also sexually reproduce. Even mulberry (n=14, 22n=308 for one species!). (for reference, see https :/ / www .phytojournal.com /archives /2019 /vol8issue3 /PartW /8-2-561-355 .pdf ).
