One half of its genetic information is the same as the parent organism

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring.
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: -Asexual reproduction produces plants that are genetically identical to the parent plant because no mixing of male and female gametes takes place.
Detailed explanation-4: -In asexual reproduction all the genes in the offspring come from one parent. In sexual reproduction one full set of the genes come from each parent. Living things produce offspring of the same species, but in many cases offspring are not identical with each other or with their parents.
Detailed explanation-5: -The offspring which is produced by this type of asexual reproduction is genetically same and identical to the parent cell. They are exact copies of the parent cell and thus, the offspring is called as a clone.
