the offs genetic material comes from parents. for example, in case of human females one X chromosome comes from her mother & other from her father.

How do the offspring of sexual reproduction compare to the parent?
The offspring has half of each of their parents' gene
Why do offspring produce by sexual reproduction show variation from their parents?
In sexual reproduction, there are tow parents so there is a mixture in genes. In asexual reproduction, there is one parent so looks identical to that parent
How is sexual and asexual reproduction different in inherited genetic material?
Sexual reproduction is with two parents and takes one sperm and one egg cell to create one embryo. The two parents and the offspring have different genetic information. Asexual reproduction is with one parent and both the parent and the offspring have the same genetic information, duh.
A conclusion about a compare and contrast about asexual and sexual reproduction?
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.
What are the different forms of sexual reproduction?
Reproduction is divided into sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is a form of cloning where all offspring are exactly the same. The genes are mixed in sexual reproduction and the result is a completely unique individual.
How is sexual reproduction in plants different from sexual reproduction in mammals?
plants are a-sexual reproduction meaning that only one parent is need to make offspring and the offspring is identical to the parent. sexual reproduction is in mammals where two parents are needed to create offspring.
How do offspring in sexual reproduction compare to the parent?
The offspring share half of the parent's genes.
Does NOT results in an offspring identical to the parent?
sexual reproduction
Can plants inherit characteristics?
yes, as long a sexual reproduction takes place. genetic traits from each parent plant are carried over to the offspring
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.
What forms offspring similar to parent?
Sexual reproduction produces offspring similar to parents. Asexual reproduction causes the offspring to be exactly the same as the one parent.
Asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction differ in all but what ways?
Asexual reproduction is the process in which a single cell or set of cells produces offspring that inherit all their genetic material from one parent and sexual reproduction needs two parents to produce offspring, the offspring inherits genetic material from both parents.
Why does sexual reproduction provide more opportunities for genetic variation than sexual reproduction?
In sexual reproduction, offspring are not identical to either parent.
What are the differences between offspring form by sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction?
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.
How do the offspring of sexual reproduction compare to the parent?
The offspring has half of each of their parents' gene
Do sexual and asexual reproduction compare?
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.
Which mode of reproduction produces offspring that is genetically unique?
Sexual reproduction
