Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Jellyfish reproduce sexually. Which of the following best describes a jellyfish polyp (offspring)? The jellyfish polyp will be genetically identical to the parent jellyfish.
Detailed explanation-2: -During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents.
Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, whereas sexual reproduction produces a similar, but genetically unique offspring.
Detailed explanation-4: -Uniform offspring: Because offspring inherit all of their DNA from one parent, they are genetically identical to each other and to their parent.
