|
|
|
the offspring have genetic material from both the mother and the father
|
|
|
the cells of the offspring are identical clones
|
Detailed explanation-1: -each child is different because your sperm cells don’t all have the same DNA. And the same goes for your wife’s eggs. Each sperm and each egg has a never before seen combination of DNA. This happens because even though each sperm and egg gets half of the parent’s DNA, they don’t each get the same half.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. Q.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -There are two main forms: sexual and asexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, an organism combines the genetic information from each of its parents and is genetically unique. In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.
