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.


Asexual reproduction produces offspring that?

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?

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.


For a codominant traiit do the offspring of identical parents always look like the parent why?

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)


Are the offspring produced by conjugation genetically identical to their parents?

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.

When a plant self pollinates and all offspring have the same trait as the paerent it is called?

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.


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.
