Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

All of the offspring (children) of an organism have the same genetic material (DNA), which is identical (exactly the same) to the parent organism?

A	makes its own food
B	goes away
C	live in a marine habitat
D	reproduces asexually

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction skips meiosis and fertilization of male and female gametes and therefore, produces genetically identical progeny i.e. clone by single parent cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -In asexual reproduction all the genes in the offspring come from one parent.

Detailed explanation-5: -An offspring shares some traits from each parent but is not identical to either parent. The exact chromosome that a parent passes on to form a pair in an offspring is random, yet each pair must receive one from the mother and one from the father.
