AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -In asexual reproduction there is no mating or mixing of genetics. Asexual reproduction results in a clone of the parent, meaning the offspring have identical DNA as the parent. Other forms of asexual reproduction include: Binary fission: A parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells.
