How is zygote different from daughter cells produced by asexual reproduction?

In sexual reproduction, a Zygote is accually the name for the egg (or ovum) that was fertalized by a sperm. In asexual reproduction where a daughter cell is produced, there is no fertilization. The "mother cell" duplicates itself to form another identical (or daughter) cell.

∙ 9y agoTecnically yes. As you know a zygote consists of the fusion of two gametes ( in this case an ova and a sperm). Gametes are produced through meiosis, so essentially they result in haploids(half, in this case 23) of the diploid (Whole, a complete set of chromosome pairs: 46 total chromosomes for humans) amount of chromosomes. Given that both gametes contribute their "haploid" genetic code to form a diploid zygote; it is a random combination of both that is identical to each of their parents genetically.
Hope this helps!!!!

How does DNA in offspring produced by asexual reproduction compare to DNA in offspring produced by sexual reproduction?
If an offspring was produced through asexual reproduction, its genes will be exactly like its parent. This is more or less a clone of the parent. An example of this is a bacterium. If an offspring is produced through sexual reproduction, it will contain genes from both parents. (such as humans)
How are most living things produced?
Either by sexual reproduction or by asexual reproduction.
What is a form of asexual reproduction in which offsprings are produced?
All asexually reproducing organisms are potentially capable of reproducing, and they don't waste any energy in trying to attract a mate
Is budding a method of asexual reproduction?
Yes, budding is a process of asexual reproduction in plants. Yeast cells may also reproduce asexually by budding, a process wherein a protrusion or bud(extension of the cytoplasm) is produced which later detaches from the developing individuals.
Why does sexual reproduction results in greater diversity among offspring than dose asexual reproduction?
When orgAnisms have sexual reproduction the genetic material of vote parents are used to make the offspring, causing the child to have different genes than the parents and have different abilities like the ability to withstand a disease.

What is the individual produced by asexual reproduction called?
asexual reproduction creates clones.
How is a clone of a plant produced?
asexual reproduction
An indiviual produced by asexual reproduction?
yes
Why is asexual reproduction cloning?
cloning is asexual reproduction because asexual reproduction is to have an organism be produced by only one organism. So the item you clone is producing another organism.
Why is offspring produced by asexual reproduction identical to the parent that produced them?
There are no genetics
How most living things produced?
Either by sexual reproduction or by asexual reproduction.
How are most living things produced?
Either by sexual reproduction or by asexual reproduction.
Where do young produced from asexual reproduction get their genes from?
The parent.
What is reproduction in which a new organism is produced when sex cells combined?
chromosome
Whats A type of reproduction when a new organisms sometimes more than one is produced that has hereditary material identical to the parent organism?
It is sexual reproduction
How can an organism produced by asexual reproduction be unique an different from its parent?
A organism can be unique and different from its parent when mutation occurs during DNA replication.
