The diagram below shows two strawberry plants. Plant 2 is produced asexually from Plant 1. If the leaf cells of Plant 1 have 56 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be found in the leaf cells of Plant 2? (SC.912.L.16.17)
14
28
56
112
The number of chromosomes in asexually reproduced plants remains the same as the parent plant. Therefore, the leaf cells of Plant 2 will also have 56 chromosomes.
So, the correct answer is 56 chromosomes.
