Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of reproduction creates genetically identical offspring?
A
Asexual Reproduction
B
Sexual Reproduction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Budding. In budding, organisms reproduce by having new individuals split off from existing ones, which results in genetically identical parent and daughter organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Clones are organisms which are genetically identical to each other. The clones are produced by asexual reproduction which are genetically identical to each other and the parent organism.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique. During sexual reproduction, two haploid gametes join in the process of fertilization to produce a diploid zygote.
