Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Asexual reproduction produces genetically ____ offspring
A
Identical
B
Similar
C
Unique
D
It depends on the specific type
Explanation: 

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: -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-3: -(a) In asexual reproduction, the offspring produced are morphologically and genetically identical to the parent.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies-or ‘replicates’-its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.
