What type of reproduction has occurred when one organism produces genetically identical offspring?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Asexual Reproduction
Asexual reproduction is ONE parent giving rise to offspring with identical genome(s) as the parent
Common Types of Asexual Reproduction:
Fission (Mitosis in somatic cells)
Budding (In Yeast, Hydra)
Vegetative Propagation (aka Vegetative Reproduction) (Clonal colonies in trees)
Fragmentation (In Fungi)
BUT IF THE OFFSPRING HAVE THE SAME GENOME AS EACH OTHER BUT NOT THE SAME AS THE PARENT,
then the offspring most likely started as one, but split, for example identical twins

Slow change over time in a species is a way to define?
It is called speciation. Speciation can happen through adaptation, which is a change in an organisms genetic code. If adaptation has gone on long enough so that the two organisms can no longer produce offspring, then speciation has occurred.
The Enlightenment and Scientific Revolution both occurred during which time periods?
The Enlightenment and Scientific Revolution both occurred between 1600 - 1800 CE.
Theory that processes that can be seen today occurred in the past?
Uniformitarianism
How does a chemical equation show that a chemical reaction has occurred?
A chemical equation shows that chemical reaction has occurred as new substances have been formed from the reagents. A chemical equation has two sides before reaction and after reaction, if there is any change from the before reaction side to the after reaction side, it indicates that a chemical reaction has just occurred.
What would happen if cytokinesis occurred without mitosis?
the cell would not form
How does the heredity of a cell formed by mitosis compare to the herdity of the parent cell?
During Mitosis the cell creates an exact replica of the DNA and the cell as a whole. When an offspring is formed asexually the parent and offspring are also identical. When an offspring is formed sexually half the genetics of the parents are passed on to the offspring.
Complete reproduction isolation is evidence that what has occurred?
speciation
What selective advantages drove the development of sexual reproduction and how did it develop?
Asexual reproduction produces organisms that are exactly identical or clones of each other. This leaves these organisms subject to total destruction if one can be affected all can be affected. Sexual reproduction was favored because each individual in a species is slightly different. If a disease occurred in the species, there would be a good chance that some would survive.
How does DNA in a new cell compare to the old cell when it replicates?
Since replication is semi-conservative and DNA replicates before mitosis the DNA in the new and old cell ( if you wish to use that terminology, as both are daughter cells ) is composed of one new strand and one old template strand.
In Model 3 two of the light alleles were lost (through the death of the individual who had these two alleles) before reproduction occurred in the 1st generation how did this affect the distribution of?
In Model 3 two of the light alleles were lost (through the death of the individual who had these two alleles) before reproduction occurred in the 1st generation how did this affect the distribution of the three alleles in this small population?
When a cutting from a plant sprouts roots and yields a new independent plant what process has occurred?
When a cutting from a plant sprouts roots and yields a new independent plant, the process of asexual reproduction has occurred. However, not all plants are able to reproduce this way.
What is the relative amounts of DNA in parent and daughter cells in mitosis?
The relative amounts of DNA in mother and daughter cells in mitosis are identical, as long as no chromosomal mutations occurred.
How does binary fission happen?
Nuclear fission of uranium 238 occurred in the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
How does a mutation in a cell affect an organism?
A mutation in a sex cell means that the mutation can be passed on to the individuals offspring. If the mutation just occurred in a somatic cell, it would not be passed down.
What has occurred when a large number of species die out over short period of time?
That is usually referred to as a Mass Extinction, and what has happened is some very major event has occurred that cuts off the animals' ability to either eat, produce offspring, or otherwise survive, without a chance of migration to better locations.
What breakthrough in facsimile reproduction occurred in 1937?
Chester Carlson invented the electrostatic dry-copying process of duplication that became known as xerography. This process used the effect of light on photoconductivity
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck proposed that organisms?
an organism can pass on characteristics that it acquired during its lifetime to its offspring. He was also an early proponent of the idea that evolution occurred and proceeded in accordance with natural laws.
