Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Offspring are genetically and physically identical or clone like.
A
Sexual
B
Asexual
C
Both
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which a single parent produces a new progeny. The new progeny produced are genetically and physically identical to their parents, i.e., they are clones .

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. Sexual and asexual reproduction have advantages and disadvantages-which is why some organisms do both!

Detailed explanation-3: -Yes. In nature, some plants and single-celled organisms, such as bacteria, produce genetically identical offspring through a process called asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, a new individual is generated from a copy of a single cell from the parent organism.

Detailed explanation-4: -In sexual reproduction, offspring formed are not identical to the parents.

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent. A single individual can produce offspring asexually and large numbers of offspring can be produced quickly.
