What type of reproduction results in offspring that are usually genetically identical to previous and explain why?

Genetically identical offspring are produced by asexual reproduction, also known as cloning. In asexual reproduction, the parent organism simply replicates its own genetics. This is in contrast to sexual reproduction in which two parent organisms combine their genetics.

Define Biological Success?
The definition of (individual) biological success is having offspring who also reproduce. In other words it's a headcount of grandchildren. The idea is that "sewing your wild oats" is not sufficient. Your children must also be willing and able to reproduce. The main objection I've heard to this definition is the case where you have grandchildren who fail to reproduce. Technically this is the "failure" of your children, not you.

What is the primary goal of meiosis?
Meiosis facilitates stable sexual reproduction. Without the halving of ploidy, or chromosome count, fertilization would result in zygotes that have twice the number of chromosomes as the zygotes from the previous generation. Successive generations would have an exponential increase in chromosome count. In organisms that are normally diploid, polyploidy, the state of having three or more sets of chromosomes, results in extreme developmental abnormalities or lethality

What natural objects relate to the Fibonacci sequence?
The Fibonacci sequence imitates the population growth sequence of animals. Start from one offspring (1 animal). After one year, it becomes mature and able to reproduce (1 animal). In one year, it reproduces one offspring (2 animals). In one year, the mother reproduces one new offspring and the offspring born in the previous year becomes mature (3 animals). In one year, both mother and the mature offspring reproduce one offspring each and the offspring from the last year becomes mature (5 animals). This reproduction sequence continues forever.
