Want this question answered?
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.
Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction in plants
it is called chlorobiastic which means the offspring looks exactly like its parent.
Examples of structures that are part of asexual reproduction in some plants are rhizomes and bulbs. Asexual reproduction results in offspring that are similar genetically to the parent.
asexual reproduction. Mitosis.
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
This is called "asexual reproduction".
Asexual reproduction occurs with only one parent and produces identical offspring. Sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces genetically different offspring.
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.
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.
Sexual reproduction
Genetically identical to the parent cell (unless of course there have been mutations)
A type of reproduction that involves only one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction in plants
it is called chlorobiastic which means the offspring looks exactly like its parent.
Asexual reproduction requires only one parent with one set of genes, produces a large amount of offspring at one time, and all offspring are genetically identical to the parent. Sexual reproduction requires two parents with two different sets of genes, produces few offspring at one time, and each offspring is genetically unique from the parents.
