Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction produces offspring genetically identical to the one parent.
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: -Uniform offspring: Because offspring inherit all of their DNA from one parent, they are genetically identical to each other and to their parent.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
