How do offspring in sexual reproduction compare to the parent?
The offspring share half of the parent's genes.
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.
Can mutations be passed from parent to offspring How?
Yes mutations can be passed from parent to offspring. If a parent has a certain gene that is mutated then there is a possibility that the child may inherit it.

What genes of offspring and parent are most alike after a process of?
Asexual Reproduction - the offspring will be exact genetic copies of the parent.
Can mutations be passed from parent to offspring How?
Yes mutations can be passed from parent to offspring. If a parent has a certain gene that is mutated then there is a possibility that the child may inherit it.
