|
|
|
develops an outgrowth which is detached from the parent and becomes a new individual.
|
|
|
Organisms can be produced from unfertilized eggs.
|
|
|
during this type of reproduction the organism divides in half
|
|
|
only one parent provides DNA for the new organism, which would make the new organism or offspring genetically identical to its one parent.

Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cloning describes the processes used to create an exact genetic replica of another cell, tissue or organism. The copied material, which has the same genetic makeup as the original, is referred to as a clone.
Detailed explanation-3: -In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring. Sea turtles are an example of an animal that reproduces sexually, a volvox (green algae) is an example of an organism that reproduces asexually, and a brittle star can reproduce in either way.
Detailed explanation-4: -Reproductive cloning is defined as the deliberate production of genetically identical individuals. Each newly produced individual is a clone of the original. Monozygotic (identical) twins are natural clones.
Detailed explanation-5: -Cloning is a technique scientists use to make exact genetic copies of living things. Genes, cells, tissues, and even whole animals can all be cloned. Some clones already exist in nature. Single-celled organisms like bacteria make exact copies of themselves each time they reproduce.
