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.
Detailed explanation-3: -In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.
Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which single parent is involved. In this process, there is no formation or fusion of the gametes. The offspring which is produced by this type of asexual reproduction is genetically same and identical to the parent cell.
