Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type(s) of reproduction involves NO genetic diversity?
A
asexual
B
sexual
C
both
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual species, on the other hand, do not have genetic variability like we do-each of their offspring has the exact same genetic makeup as their parent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent. The new individuals produced are genetically and physically identical to each other, i.e., they are the clones of their parents. Asexual reproduction is observed in both multicellular and unicellular organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring.
