How does the mechanism of heredity?

The mechanism of heredity work in the following ways-1.They transfer characters from parent to offsprings in the form DNA.2. DNA is the basic unit of inheritance, during reproduction this DNA copies itself in the offspring, its similar to the main DNA , similar because there may be some errors too.3. Moreover in Sexual reproduction the DNA of both parents work inheriting the characters of both parents.4. It also helps in providing such offsprings which are similar to the parents. One of most important benefit is that it helps the offsprings in the current surroundings


Do all the offspring look the same?

In asexual reproduction the offsprings look the same as only a single parent is involved and there is no formation or fusion of gametes.Asexual reproduction involves mitotic divisions and the individuals produced are genetically similar.


What is the type of reproduction where a new organism has a single parent?

What is the characteristic of reproduction?

One characteristic of asexual reproduction is that there is only one parent. This type of reproduction creates offspring that is completely identical to the one parent.
