Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Asexual reproduction will result in
A
Identical offspring to the parent
B
Twins
C
Meiosis
D
Non-identical offspring to the parent
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction results in the offspring being identical to the parent in almost every way. This is because only one parent is involved. In the case of sexual reproduction, the child inherits a mixture of characteristics because two parents are involved.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which offsprings arise from a single organism and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes. The offspring produced from asexual reproduction is exact copy of the parent.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
