When would having all generations of an organism genetically identical be helpful to a species?

Theoretically, when an organism has adapted perfectly to a completely static situation. Only such a situation doesn't exist in actuality.

Choose an organism and predict a trait that would be helpful for its survival. Do you think this could be an evolutionary change What would have to happen for this trait to be expressed?
Yes
What are the causes of mutation in animals?
A mutation occurs when there is a slight change in an organism's DNA. Mutations can be as small as one base, and it can be helpful, harmful, or have no effect. It can also be caused by an environmental agent or mistake. Hope this helps!
Why are some types of mutation inherited?
If a mutation happens, it will be helpful, harmful or neutral. Whether they are passed on to offspring depends on several things.Obviously, whether the organism gets a chance to reproduce.Whether the organism manages to survive long enough to reproduce, which it is unlikely to do if the mutation is harmful.Whether the gametes which are successful in the process of fertilization happen to contain that gene.
What is the basic unit of ecology?
Units 1st unit: organism 2nd unit: Population 3rd unit: Community 4th unit: Ecosystem 5th unit: Biosphere Hope its helpful....... These Units are being given by our science teacher........
How might identical twins who were separated at birth be helpful in determining the roles of genes in mental illness?
This is more or less theoretical question. Identical twins getting separated at birth, then one or both should have some some sort of mental illness. You happen to see both of them. But then you can know the role of genes in development of mental disorder in some particular disorder. The role of environmental factors are almost nullified in that case.

Why is it beneficial for organisms to produce sexually and asexually?
Sexual reproduction allows for genetic diversity. This may be helpful to allow an organism to better adapt to its environment. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are identical to the parent. This may be helpful in that the offspring are born already adapted to the environment. If there is suddenly a shortage of one sex for a species (ex. 90% of males are wiped out due to illness), to prevent the species from dying out, it would be handy if the organism could reproduce without a mate.
How has fingerprinting been helpful in identifying a criminal?
Fingerprinting is helpful because nobody has the same fingerprint, even identical twins. Crimanals often leave their fingerprints at the crime scene, which leaves a mystery for the F.B.I.
