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.
it is called chlorobiastic which means the offspring looks exactly like its parent.
Firstly, sexual reproduction requires the fusion of male and female gametes, in a process known as fertilisation, while on the other hand, asexual reproduction does not require the fusion of gametes. Secondly, sexual reproduction results in the offspring of the parents to have traits of both parents, due to the random fusion of gametes. While asexual reproduction results in the daughter organism being genetically similar to the mother.
Asexual reproduction uses only 1 parent and is usually only done by bacteria. Also the offspring is an exact copy of the parent. Then sexual reproduction requires 2 parents and the offspring is a mix of the 2 parents' genes.
Asexual reproduction results in offspring with an identical genetic makeup as the parent cell which allows them to be called clones. In sexual reproduction genes from both parents combine resulting in offspring with different genetic make ups.
Offspring are genetically identical to their parents.
Asexual reproduction occurs with only one parent and produces identical offspring. Sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces genetically different offspring.
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.
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: the offspring has a single parent.Sexual: the offspring has two parents (combining some chromosomes from each parent). In asexual reproduction, as long as there are no mutations, the offspring are identical to the parents; in sexual reproduction, they are not.
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.
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)
it is called chlorobiastic which means the offspring looks exactly like its parent.
Offspring formed by sexual reproductions use both parents' genetic material that differs from the parents. Offspring formed by asexual reproduction is formed by a single parent and is identical to the parent.

The offspring of something that went through asexual reproduction should look exactly like the parent.
Asexual reproduction is when a baby or offspring is made from only 1 parent instead of the usual 2 parents. There is no fertilization process to asexual reproduction.
