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 .

Detailed explanation-2: -In asexual reproduction, only a single parent is involved. So, the offspring produced are genetically identical to the parent and to each other as well. Such offspring are called clones. Hence, the offspring are genetically identical to themselves and their parents.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because in sexual reproduction 2 parents are involved a male and a female, but in asexual only one parent is involved and there is no fusion of a male and female gamete.
