Is it true that sexual reproduction passes information from a single parent to one offspring?

No. Sexual reproduction passes on a random half of one parent's genetic information and a random half of the other parent's genetic information. This is achieved through meiosis. You are 50% your mom and 50% your dad by genes.

What is a type of reproduction that has only one parent and the offspring is identical to the parent?
In asexual reproduction a single parent passes copies of all it's genes to each of it's offspring. In sexual reproduction two parents each form reproductive cells that have one half the chromosomes.
How do offspring inherit traits in asexual reproduction?
During asexual reproduction, a single parent passes copies of all of its genes to each of its offspring. The individual reproduced is the parent cell's clone, an organism that is GENETICALLY IDENTICAL to its parent. Hope that helps!
What is the nucleic acid that is passes over from parent to offspring?
DNA
Type of nucleic acid that passes from parent to offspring and directs all the cells functions?
Type of nucleic acid that passes from parent to offspring and directs all the cell's functions?
Gregor Mendel concluded that a parent passes of the alleles for a trait to their offspring?
One of the allels for a trait to it's offspring.
What is the principle that each parent passes only one allele for a trait its offspring?
Segregation
What are the difference between asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction requires two different sets of (haploid) genes from two parents to produce an offspring (diploid).Asexual reproduction only requires one parent, with said parent often splitting off a part of itself to form a clone - for example: fleas, earthworms and certain plant species. Most commercial plant propagation is done asexually (cuttings, tissue culture etc.)i dont know HAHAIn a sexual reproduction, an organism produces offspring exactly similar to itself, (if no mutations occur). This means that it passes along an exact copy of its entire genome of genetic material/chromosomes/DNA.In sexual reproduction, two organisms share their genome, each constitution half of the offspring's genome. This emans that each organism passes along half of its chromosomes, thus the offspring is a genetic blend of the two parents.
what is it called when an organism passes genetic information to a new generation?
Reproduction
Unit of heredity that passes on traits from parent to offspring?
this is called a inherited trait. If it comes from one parent, it will not show and this is called a recessive trait.
How many chromosomes dose each parent pass to their offspring?
When a parent is going to have an offspring the offspring only gets half a chromosome from each parent, they combine to make one chromosome then that chromosome gets copied until there are 23 pairs of chromosome's. This is how you get your features.
How does an organism pass on the chemical information for making protein for the next generation?
It passes information by way of genes which are found in our DNA. We use reproduction to do this.
Why is it better to reproduce sexually?
It is better because then you get diversity. DNA is passed down in any reproduction, but while asexual reproduction is basically cloning from one parent, as in bacteria, sexual reproduction passes down DNA from two parents, each with their own unique DNA, which leads to diversity.
