Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Offspring formed by the asexual method of reproduction have greater similarities among themselves because asexual reproduction involves only one parent and does not involve gametes.
Detailed explanation-2: -New individuals formed by asexual method of reproduction have greater similarity among themselves because: (i) Asexual reproduction involves only one parent. (ii) Asexual reproduction does not involve gametes. (iii) Asexual reproduction occurs before sexual reproduction.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Both modes of reproduction result in formation of a new life (a new plant is produced). In both modes, there is a transfer of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Both of them perform the cell division process or mitosis for cell growth and development.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
