|
|
|
production of genetically identical offspring from one parent
|
|
|
requires the fusion of two separate parent cells
|
|
|
has the advantage of creating more genetic diversity
|
|
|
slower and more energy required to find a mate and exchange genetic material

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -Which statement is true for asexual reproduction? Genetic information from a single parent is copied and passed on to form offspring with the same genetic information.
Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction requires only one parent. There are many types of asexual reproduction.
Detailed explanation-5: -Clones are organisms which are genetically identical to each other. The clones are produced by asexual reproduction which are genetically identical to each other and the parent organism.
