Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type(s) of reproduction involves offspring identical to the parent?
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. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring. Sexual and asexual reproduction have advantages and disadvantages-which is why some organisms do both!

Detailed explanation-3: -Budding. In budding, organisms reproduce by having new individuals split off from existing ones, which results in genetically identical parent and daughter organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction includes fission, budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis, while sexual reproduction is achieved through the combination of reproductive cells from two individuals.
