Are asexual offspring identical to the parent?
Asexual reproduction Only one parent is required, unlike sexual reproduction which needs two parents. Since there is only one parent, there is no fusion of gametes and no mixing of genetic information. As a result, the offspring are genetically identical to the parent and to each other. They are clones .
Why are asexual offspring genetically identical to their parent?
Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent. During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents.
Are asexual offspring likely to be genetically identical or different?
In asexual reproduction the offspring are likely to be “genetically identical” to their parents. Explanation: The off springs are ‘genetically identical’ to their parents because there is only parent involved in the reproduction. The ‘parent cell’ divides into two daughter cells that are the same copy of their parents.

Are the parent and the offspring identical or not explain your answer?
Genetic information is passed from one generation to another. Sexually reproduced offspring are never identical to their parents. Many species, of animals and plants, including humans reproduce sexually. The new individual receives genetic information from both parents.
Why does asexual reproduction occur?
Asexual reproduction occurs by cell division during mitosis to produce two or more genetically identical offspring. Thus, sexual reproduction permits new combinations of genetic material and the offspring are usually genetically different from the parents.
What type of offspring does asexual reproduction produce?
genetically identical
Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent. A single individual can produce offspring asexually and large numbers of offspring can be produced quickly.
Is there such a thing as asexual reproduction?
A special kind of asexual spore found in many kinds of fungi Large variations in a crop may be developed by employing asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction always yields offspring which are identical to their parent. Asexual reproduction requires gametes but not fertilization.
What kind of fruit can only reproduce asexually?
A common fruit that can only reproduce asexually is Thompson seedless grapes. When an organism of many cells breaks up into two or more parts, and when these parts survive to produce a new organism, reproduction occurs by .
Do you need gametes for asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction requires gametes but not fertilization. Occasionally asexual reproduction can cause undesirable proliferation of an organism. is a type of cell division used in asexual reproduction.
