Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following statements about asexual reproduction is TRUE?
A
Asexual reproduction requires two parents
B
Offspring are identical to their 1 parent
C
Offspring are different than their parents
D
Offspring get half their genes from each of their 2 parents
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it is reproduction which almost never involves ploidy or reduction. The offspring will be exact genetic copies of the parent, except in the specific case of automixis.

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: -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: -Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent.

Detailed explanation-5: -(i) It involves a single parent. (ii) It is slower than sexual reproduction. (iii) It produces progeny that are genetically identical with the parent but not with one another. (iv) The progeny of asexual reproduction can be termed as clones.
