Clones.
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.
Genetically identical to the parent cell (unless of course there have been mutations)
Offspring which arise as a contiguous outgrowth of the parent is called budding. The process of a parent cell dividing into a large number of genetically identical cells all at once is known as multiple fission.
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)
No, the offspring produced by conjugation are not genetically identical to their parents. Conjugation involves the transfer of genetic material between two bacterial cells, resulting in genetic diversity in the offspring.
This is called "asexual reproduction".
This is called "asexual reproduction".

sexual reproduction
When a plant self-pollinates and all offspring have the same trait as the parent, it is called homozygous. This means that the offspring have inherited identical alleles for that specific trait from both parent plants.
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.
Mitosis
it is called chlorobiastic which means the offspring looks exactly like its parent.
Because they are all clones of the parent.
Genetically identical to the parent cell (unless of course there have been mutations)
There are no genetics
Genes that are identical to those of the parent
