Yes, they are genetically identical because starfish reproduce asexually, and therefore the genetic makeup of each one doesn't change.

What cellular process did plants undergo if they were clones?
Clones are offspring that are genetically identical to their parents and are produced through asexual reproduction, as opposed to sexual reproduction which produces a genetically different offspring.
What are the offspring of sexual reproduction related to their parent?
What could be said is that the offspring will not be identical, genetically or regarding appearance; there will be variation between offspring and their sexually reproducing parents.
Is an offspring different?
A clone is genetically identical to the parent. Offspring are 'children' that contain a mix of the father and the mothers DNA and so will be genetically different to both of their parents. Offspring from an asexually reproducing organism (i.e bacteria or rotifers) are sometimes referred to as clones as they contain identical DNA to the parent.
The process in which a single plant produces many offspring genetically identical to itself is called?
Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction in plants
What reproduction processes results in offspring genetically identical to their parents A budding B binary fission C sexual reproduction D both A and B?
c
Why is the offspring not identical to parent in asexual reproduction?
The offspring is not identical to parent in sexual reproduction because sexual reproduction produces an offspring that is genetically different from the parents. ---- The answer above is actually incorrect. The offspring is identical genetically to the parent because mitosis produces cells genetically identical to the parent cell or cells. But the offspring itself is not identical.
Asexual produced offspring are genetically?
identical.
Are the offspring produced by conjugation genetically identical to their parents?
It is identical to the parents.
Can genetically identical offspring show differences in phenotype?
They always do.
When a plant reproduces vegetatively its offspring are?
are genetically identical
The production of offspring genetically identical to the parent plant is the result of?
asexual reproduction
What happens when breeders cross two genetically identical organisms?
When breeders cross two genetically identical organisms the same genes have an increased chance of expressing themselves in the offspring. However, the offspring will also have genes from ancestors.
What is genetic continuity is maintained through asexual reproduction?
Offspring are genetically identical to their parents.
What cellular process did plants undergo if they were clones?
Clones are offspring that are genetically identical to their parents and are produced through asexual reproduction, as opposed to sexual reproduction which produces a genetically different offspring.
Is asexual reproduction is?
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
Is asexual reproduction?
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
What are the offspring of sexual reproduction related to their parent?
What could be said is that the offspring will not be identical, genetically or regarding appearance; there will be variation between offspring and their sexually reproducing parents.
