A mother cat is a calico, with orange, black, and white fur. She has three kittens—an orange female, a black and orange female, and a black female. Did she reproduce sexually or asexually? Choose the option that has the best evidence to support your choice.(1 point)
Responses
Sexually, because cats are multicellular, and multicellular organisms typically reproduce sexually.

Sexually, because each kitten looks different than the mother, which is a sign of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction.
