(1) and (2)
B
(1) and (3)
C
(2) and (4)
D
(3) and (4)
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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.
