ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
All of the offspring of an organism have the same genetic material, which is identical to the parent organism?
A
makes its own food
B
goes away
C
live in a marine habitat
D
reproduces asexually
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -Budding. In budding, organisms reproduce by having new individuals split off from existing ones, which results in genetically identical parent and daughter organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -In asexual reproduction, only a single parent is involved. So, the offspring produced are genetically identical to the parent and to each other as well. Such offspring are called clones. Hence, the offspring are genetically identical to themselves and their parents.

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent.
