ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In order to grow two of the exact same plants, a person would reproduce them asexually because the
A
genetic diversity is greater.
B
offspring would be genetically identical.
C
recessive traits would emerge.
D
negative traits are suppressed.
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Asexual reproduction only requires DNA from one parent. It creates offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Genetically identical offspring are called clones.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -In biology, binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction where a parent cell divides, resulting in two identical cells, each having the potential to grow to the size of the original cell.
