Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does an off spring get its traits in asexual reproduction?
A
From both parents
B
From only one parent
C
From neither parent
D
There are no traits handed down
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, mixing of genetic trait occurs in sexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, there is no fusion of male and female gamete and offspring develops from single parent because of which new individual is exact copy of parent and inherit same genetic traits. Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Detailed explanation-2: -During asexual reproduction, a single parent produces offspring. The offspring have the same genes, and therefore the same inherited traits, as the parent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction requires only one parent. There are many types of asexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sexual reproduction involves two parents. As you can see from Figure below, in sexual reproduction, parents produce reproductive cells-called gametes-that unite to form an offspring.

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual reproduction skips meiosis and fertilization of male and female gametes and therefore, produces genetically identical progeny i.e. clone by single parent cell.
