ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In ____ reproduction, the offspring are identical to the parent cell
A
sexual
B
asexual
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring. Sexual and asexual reproduction have advantages and disadvantages-which is why some organisms do both!

Detailed explanation-3: -The parent cell simply divides to form two daughter cells that are identical to the parent. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, whereas sexual reproduction produces a similar, but genetically unique offspring.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which single parent is involved. In this process, there is no formation or fusion of the gametes. The offspring which is produced by this type of asexual reproduction is genetically same and identical to the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which a single parent produces a new progeny. The new progeny produced are genetically and physically identical to their parents, i.e., they are clones. Both multicellular and unicellular species exhibit asexual reproduction.
