ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In order to predict whether an organism would produce offspring that are diverse or uniform, it would be most helpful to know which of the following about the organism?
A
Does its diet consist of many foods?
B
Does it reproduce sexually or asexually?
C
What is the approximate mass of an adult?
D
What is the climate like in its habitat?
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -a blend of the genetic material of its parents. In order to predict whether an organism would produce offspring that are diverse or uniform, it would be most helpful to know which of the following about the organism? Does its diet consist of many foods? Does it reproduce sexually or asexually?

Detailed explanation-2: -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-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: -Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sexual reproduction allows for a greater genetic diversity through the process of Fertilisation. It involves the meiosis process which means a cell doubling its DNA, shuffling its genes and then dividing the shuffled DNA among four cells.
