Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction requires only one parent plant. There is no exchanging of genetic information, therefore, offspring are clones of the parent.

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 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. Both multicellular and unicellular species exhibit asexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which statement correctly describes the offspring of asexual reproduction? They result without the fusion of gametes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual reproduction requires only one parent. There are many types of asexual reproduction.
