How does cloned sheep compare genetically to a sheep that is made using sexual reproduction?

To answer this correctly, you need to know how the sheep are related. Is the parent of the cloned sheep one of the parents to the sheep that is produced sexually? If so, the two sheep would have half the numbers of genes in common. If not, they would be even less related and have fewer genes in common.
Both would have the genes that make them sheep in common.

Which mode of reproduction produces offspring that is genetically unique?
Sexual reproduction
Why is the offspring not identical to parent in asexual reproduction?
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.
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 species can produce offspring that are genetically different from their parent?
All species that use sexual reproduction.
Does sexual reproduction result in more genetic variation in a species than asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction results in offspring which are genetically the same as the parent organism (not counting a rare mutation). Sexual reproduction produces a random mixture of the genetics derived from both parents.In sexual reproduction, offspring are not identical to either parent.
How offspring of sexual reproduction compare genetically to each other?
different
How do offspring of sexual reproduction compare genetically to each other?
if it compares it will make a copy of the parent
If you are genetically unique what kind of reproduction created you?
If you are genetically unique sexual reproduction created you
Which mode of reproduction produces offspring that is genetically unique?
Sexual reproduction
Which type of reproduction involves meiosis and creates offspring that are genetically unique?
Sexual reproduction.

Why is sexual reproduction beneficial for organisms?
Because the offspring would be genetically unique
Whyis mitosis a form of asexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction is when the resulting cells/organisms are genetically different from the parent cells/organisms. Asexual reproduction is when the resulting cells/organisms are genetically identical to the parent cells/organisms. Mitosis is the division of one nucleus into 2 genetically identical nuclei. Thus, it is asexual reproduction. On the other hand, meiosis results in 4 genetically different daughter cells. Thus, meiosis is an example of sexual reproduction.
Why is the offspring not identical to parent in asexual reproduction?
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.
Is cloning sexual or asexual reproduction?
it is asexual because it only acquires 1 organism and the offspring is exactly like the parent that was cloned
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)
