Genetics requires 2 sets of DNA, so part of the "look" comes from each parent, and part of what an offspring looks like is environmental.

Why dont offspring of two parents look exactly like either parent?
Because an offspring gets 23 chromosomes from each parent through meiosis
What are the reasons that offspring does not look exactly like you?
Offspring does not look exactly like the parent because in humans, only sexual reproduction is possible, which involves 2 parents which exchange DNA to form offspring with different DNA and genetic information than both parents.
What different shapes of a sexual and asexual reproduction in offspring?
asexual offsprings are exactly alike with their parent.they show little variation so little chance for survival during struggles created by naturetheir number is more than sexually reproducing organism
Do the offspring look exactly like their parents reproduction?
No. The offspring receive a combination of both parents DNA (roughly half from each parent although the mom contributes more due to mitochondrial DNA). During recombination the DNA of both parents is combined form a unique individual with traits from both the mother and father.
For a codominant traiit do the offspring of identical parents always look like the parent why?
No, the offspring of identical parents would not always look like the parents because everyone has dominant and recessive traits, where the recessive traits do not show but is still in DNA. That said, recessive traits not shown in parents can be passed on as dominant traits to offspring - making offspring not always identical to its parents. (this is also called genetic variation)

Why are children not exactly like their parents?
because parents dont understand children and what they like
How are plant offspring like their parents and why does this happen?
Plants are offspring like their parents because of their parents DNA this happens because of fertilization
Why does sexual reproduction produce offspring that are not exactly like either of there parents?
The genes passed on by each parent causes a 'mixing' in a way they are expressed. You and your parents do not have exactly the same genes. Your DNA is so unique that it can identify you from every other human.

Do dandelions like offspring?
Do dandelions like offspring?? Well Dandelions don't exactly like or dislike. But offspring is necessary for the survival of their species so I'm going to say yes.

What are the saber-toothed tigers offspring like?
Extinct. As are their parents.
What type of reproduction results in uniform offspring?
hen an offspring is produced asexually and looks exactly like the parent.
What role do genes play traits from parents to offspring?
the genes play a big roll in the offspring. Genes are important because they make you look like your parents
