Why is offspring produced by asexual reproduction identical to the parent that produced them?
There are no genetics
What is the creation of offspring from only one organism called?
asexual reproduction. Mitosis.
Why is there great variations in the offspring produced through sexual reproduction but little or no variations in the offspring produced through asexual reproduction?
In asexual reproduction there is no independent orientation of chromosomes, not crossing over and no random fertilization. Cloning the exact genetic material from organism to progeny is all asexual reproduction is. So, very little chance of anything but mutation, copying errors, are going to happen in asexual reproduction.
Reproduction that results in offspring that are clones is called?
Asexual reproduction. ^__^
Is the term clone applicable to the offspring produced by vegetative reproduction?
yes as it is a type of asexual rep.
Why is offspring produced by asexual reproduction identical to the parent that produced them?
There are no genetics
What type of reproduction results in uniform offspring?
hen an offspring is produced asexually and looks exactly like the parent.
How does DNA in offspring produced by asexual reproduction compare to DNA in offspring produced by sexual reproduction?
If an offspring was produced through asexual reproduction, its genes will be exactly like its parent. This is more or less a clone of the parent. An example of this is a bacterium. If an offspring is produced through sexual reproduction, it will contain genes from both parents. (such as humans)

What is a form of asexual reproduction in which offsprings are produced?
All asexually reproducing organisms are potentially capable of reproducing, and they don't waste any energy in trying to attract a mate
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.
What is a hydra offspring?
asexual reproduction
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.
