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)

Varieties that always produce offspring identical to parents?

Clones are varieties that always produce offspring identical to the parent, as they are genetically identical. This can be achieved through asexual reproduction methods such as cuttings, grafting, or tissue culture. Examples of plants that are commonly propagated through cloning include bananas, strawberries, and some types of roses.


Can genetically identical offspring show differences in phenotype?

They always do.


Why do animals produce identical offspring and humans dont?

Animals often produce identical offspring through asexual reproduction, such as in the case of certain insects or bacteria. In humans, reproduction involves sexual reproduction where genetic material from two parents combine to create unique offspring with a mix of traits from both parents. This genetic diversity ensures a greater chance of survival in changing environments.


When is the offspring in asexual reproduction not identical to the parent?

The offspring of a asexual organism will always be identical to the parent cell because it is never gaining new information like it would if it were sexual.


What is pure strain?

A group of identical individuals that always produce offspring of the same phenotype when intercrossed.

What does fertile offspring mean?

Fertile offspring are offspring of parents which can continue to reproduce (for example Humans). However you can also get infertile offspring which cannot reproduce (an example of this is a mule, but it is not always the case.


What the mother is 0- and the father 0 can they have a bloodtype offspring?

If both parents are type O, they will always produce type O offspring.


Does sexual reproduction produce offspring that are identical to the parent?

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.


How many kinds of genotype will the offspring have?

it always depends....


Are plant Clones always identical?

No not always!


Which statement describes offspring produced by sexual reproduction?

A. It needs just one parent B. The offspring are always genetically identical. C. The offspring are not identical to the parents.
