Insects are needed to transfer pollen.
|
|
|
New plants grow from seeds.
|
|
|
Offspring are genetically identical to their parent.
|
|
|
Two types of gametes are involved.
|
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: -Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which new individuals are produced without fusion of gametes. Offsprings produced by asexual reproduction are different from parents and genetic variation does not occur.
Detailed explanation-4: -The given statement is True. Asexual reproduction is one of the reproductive process of passing genetic material from one generation to the next generation. The resulting offspring will have the same characters as the parent.
Detailed explanation-5: -The only incorrect statement regarding asexual reproduction is (B). Asexual reproduction does not involve the inheritance of genetic material from a parent by offspring.
