|
Its DNA is a combination of two parents DNA
|
|
|
Its DNA has mutations
|
|
|
Its DNA is identical to its parent
|
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: -Asexual reproduction only requires DNA from one parent. It creates offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Genetically identical offspring are called clones. Clones lack genetic diversity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring.
Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction occurs when a new organism is produced from a part of another organism via cell division. During cell division genetic material (DNA) in the nucleus is copied and then the nucleus divides into two identical nuclei.
Detailed explanation-5: -Plants, like other sexual organisms, inherit a matching set of chromosomes from each parent. In order to transmit a favorable trait, such as pest or drought resistance, to all their offspring, the plant would have to carry the same genetic variant on each chromosome.
