Why is it a disadvantage to have offspring the same as the parent?

If there is not change in the offspring then they will also be susceptible to the diseases the parent suffers and will not survive.

A plant the always produces offspring with the same trait as the parent?
a true breeding plant always produces offspring with the same trait as the parent(s).
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.
What percentage of the possible types offspring had the same phenotype as parent?
75%
How many of the possible types of offspring had the same genotype as the parent?
56
What was the genotype of the offspring that did not share the parent's phenotype?
The genotype of the offspring that had the same phenotype as the parents is rr or wrinkled. The phenotype for the seed shape of both parent plants is round.
What percent of the offspring's genetic information is the same as the genetic information of the parent?
13.3
How are sexual and asexual alike?
1.They both can duplicate into two or more offspring. 2.Both can produce offspring (obviously) 3.The offspring is the same species as the "parent" 4.Invovle at least 1 "parent" 5.The offspring are also able to reproduce.

What advantages does asexual reproduction of plants have for a farmer and what are the disadvantages?
asexual reproduction makes offspring clones of the parent plant so if a farmer found a strawberry plant that lasted longer periods of winter that trait is definitely gonna be inherited by the offspring. This is the advantage, But then if one strawberry plant becomes susceptible to one disease then offspring will be the same too. So this is the disadvantage.
Why might asexual reproduction be a disadvantage to organisms if there is a sudden change in environmental conditions?
The offspring of asexual reproduction are inheriting traits from only one parent and has the same ginetic material as the parent. The ginetic material cannot vary because there is no crossing over or combinations so it will always remain the same ginetically and cant evolve or change greatly but if the environmant changes greatky the offspring might not be able to function in it with its organelles and traits and neither could its asexually reproduced offspring because they would also be the same.
What percentage of possible types of offspring had genotype of the same genotype as the parent?
75 percent
How do offspring in sexual reproduction compare to the parent?
The offspring share half of the parent's genes.
