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: -Offsprings which are formed by the asexual methods of reproduction has greater similarity among themselves because it involves only one parent and also it doesn’t involve gametes, hence the chances of variation is less.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
