First, nothing in science is always. In the case of asexual reproduction Such as binary fission or mitosis mutations is always a possibility. In the case of certain microbes, plasmids containing genetic material can be absent or more prevalent in reproduced copies of itself. But, for the most part, under normal circumstances, asexually reproduced organisms are usually identical clones. Matt Somar- Department of Biology University of Central Florida.
The offspring is not identical to parent in sexual reproduction because sexual reproduction produces an offspring that is genetically different from the parents. ---- The answer above is actually incorrect. The offspring is identical genetically to the parent because mitosis produces cells genetically identical to the parent cell or cells. But the offspring itself is not identical.
asexual
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes from two parent organisms to produce offspring with genetic variation. Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes; instead, offspring are produced from a single parent organism and are genetically identical to the parent.
Genetically identical to the parent cell (unless of course there have been mutations)
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.
The offspring is not identical to parent in sexual reproduction because sexual reproduction produces an offspring that is genetically different from the parents. ---- The answer above is actually incorrect. The offspring is identical genetically to the parent because mitosis produces cells genetically identical to the parent cell or cells. But the offspring itself is not identical.
This is called "asexual reproduction".
asexual
sexual reproduction
In sexual reproduction, there are tow parents so there is a mixture in genes. In asexual reproduction, there is one parent so looks identical to that parent
This is called "asexual reproduction".
Mitosis
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes from two parent organisms to produce offspring with genetic variation. Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes; instead, offspring are produced from a single parent organism and are genetically identical to the parent.
c. produce identical offspring. Asexual reproduction involves the creation of new individuals without the need for gametes or fertilization, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent organism.
The process you are referring to is called "asexual reproduction." In this type of reproduction, a single parent plant can produce many offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. This is common in certain plants like strawberries and potatoes.
There are no genetics
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
