The offspring of something that went through asexual reproduction should look exactly like the parent.

What difference between sexual and asexual reproduction?

asexual reproduction is when there is only one parent in the picture. it means that you do not need another one of those species to complete the process. sexual reproduction is where there are two parents (human reproduction is an example of this)


What are the reasons that offspring does not look exactly like you?

Offspring does not look exactly like the parent because in humans, only sexual reproduction is possible, which involves 2 parents which exchange DNA to form offspring with different DNA and genetic information than both parents.


How can both asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction allow for the survival of a species?

Some organisms can use both types of reproduction. For example, when conditions are favorable, many plants and fungi will reproduce asexually. Doing so lets them spread quickly and take over an area. When the environment changes these organisms will switch to sexual reproduction. this strategy increase the chance that the species will survive.


Why offspring don't look exactly like the parents?

Offspring don't look exactly like their parents due to a combination of genetic variability from both parents, random assortment of genes during reproduction, and genetic mutations that can occur. This genetic diversity is what allows for evolution and adaptation to changing environments.


Do the offspring look exactly like their parents reproduction?

No. The offspring receive a combination of both parents DNA (roughly half from each parent although the mom contributes more due to mitochondrial DNA). During recombination the DNA of both parents is combined form a unique individual with traits from both the mother and father.

Can an offspring look like just one parent?

because of the chromosomes the parents will give 23 of their chromosomes to the baby born and then that baby has 46 chromosomes in all.this method is called mitosis.


What reproduction is called when the offspring doesn't look like the parent?

Chlorobiastic


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.


Is it true that Asexual reproduction is an advantage for many water invertebrates because they do not have to look for a mate?

How animals look when compared to their parents in asexual reproduction?

they look alike with no variations.


What does the appearance of offspring look like in sexual reproduction co mpared to the parents?

Offspring in sexual reproduction exhibit a combination of traits from both parents, blending their physical characteristics. This results in genetic diversity and variations in appearance among offspring, making each individual unique.

What is the advantage of sexual reproduction vs asexual in terms of energy?

Sexual reproduction requires more energy than asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction's main advantages come from the slight differences that occur between the generations. A few of the offspring may be able to survive and find a new food source if the old one is wiped out, if a disease wipes out the population, or if a new predator appears. This small group of survivors produces a replacement species.

Why is asexual reproduction is a good method of reproduction?

Advantages: Quick, no need to find a mate, if immune to a disease, all will be immuneDisadvantages: No evolution and variation, if suceptible to disease, all will be, can enhance good charcteristics,Well, for starters, the obvious one is that the organism does not need to look for a mate. The time spent looking for a mate could be wasted, but in asexual reproduction, all the organism needs is itself. Like an amoeba splitting into two. A disadvantage to asexual reproduction is that the original organism is destroyed, making two new organisms in its place.


What type of reproduction produce fungi that are different from either parents?

Fungi can reproduce sexually by forming unique spores through the fusion of genetic material from two different mating types. This allows for genetic variation and the production of fungi that are different from either parent.
