Everyone will be exactly the same as their parent. Organisms that reproduce asexually, cells for example, create a genetic copy of themselves. Where as organisms that reproduce sexually, humans for example, get their genes from both parents and end up being a unique combination of their parents.

Which organisms are reproducing asexually?
There are tons of organisms that reproduce asexually. As for ANIMALS - A lot of species of fish do (some sharks partake in parthenogenesis - a type of asexual reproduction), some species of wasps, whiptail lizards, sea anemones, coral, starfish, snails. All fungi, bacteria, Archaea, Protist and amoebas reproduce asexually. Some plants are capable of reproducing asexually, such as strawberry, onions and potatoes.
Organisms that reproduce asexually and sexually?
All the Coelenterates that I know of (jellyfish, sea anemones, etc) and some Platyhelminthes (flatworms). There are undoubtedly others, but I can't think of them offhand.
Why do some organisms reproduce asexually?
Some organisms have evolved to reproduce asexually due to the fact they may not be in a stable enough environment for them to reproduce sexually. Often times the population of an organism will be smaller if they reproduce asexually and they will have a much small gene pool.
How do all multicellular organisms begin?
By cellular reproduction. Cells reproduce asexually so if there is only one cell and it reproduces then there will be two cells and thus multicellular.
In order to use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to calculate genetic variation in a population which of the following conditions must exist in the population?
All organisms must reproduce.
Do platypuses reproduce asexually?
No. Platypuses are mammals, and all mammals reproduce sexually, not asexually.
What are the steps of a monkey reproducing asexually?
All monkeys reproduce sexually and none reproduce asexually.
Do all animals have the ability to reproduce asexually?
No, animals either reproduce sexually or asexually. In sexual reproduction, two parents are required and an offspring is born with inherited genes/characteristics of both parents. In asexual reproduction, only one parent is required to produce an offspring and that offspring has all the characteristics of the parent. Humans reproduce sexually, whereas single-celled organisms like amoebas reproduce asexually.
Does all insects reproduce sexually or asexually?
Mostly sexually, but some insects can reproduce asexually, such as the aphid

Do all animals reproduce asexually?
No.
Do teacup pigs reproduce asexually or sexually?
Teacup pigs reproduce sexually. All animals reproduce sexually. Only plants have the ability to reproduce asexually.
Is the biological species concept is useful only for extinct organisms?
No, biological species concept is NOT useful for extinct organisms at all, nor organisms that reproduce asexually; it is only useful for organisms that produce sexually.
Do amphibians reproduce asexually?
No. Amphibians reproduce sexually, as all vertebrates do.
Do all living organisms reproduce offspring?
If reproduce means producing offspring/copies of itself, then yes. If reproduce means reproducing sexually (not asexually), then no. Bacteria reproduce through asexual reproduction -- making exact copies of themselves.
What does cells reproduce?
if your asking how cells reproduce they can usually reproduce asexually[all by themselves].
Do animals reproduce sexually or asexually?
Animals reproduce sexually not asexually. They have to have two animals to procreate, including both a male and a female.
