C. The sex cells of an opossum contain twice as many chromosomes as the sex cells of a rabbit.
D. The sex cells of cats and dogs contain the same number of chromosomes.
3. How does the type of reproduction shown in method A in the diagram below differ from the type of reproduction
shown in method B?
A. Method A shows sexual reproduction, and method B shows asexual reproduction.
B. Offspring produced by method B will be genetically alike, but offspring produced by method A will be
genetically different.
C. The two cells shown in the last step of method A are genetically alike, but the two cells shown in the last step
of method B are genetically different.
