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: -In sexual reproduction, an organism combines the genetic information from each of its parents and is genetically unique. In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.
Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction is a form of reproduction in which the offspring produced is exactly similar to the parent. Also, neither there is formation of two different gametes, nor there is an involvement of two different sexes. In case of unicellular organisms, mitosis is a mode of asexual reproduction.
Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction requires only one parent plant. There is no exchanging of genetic information, therefore, offspring are clones of the parent.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
