∙ 12y agoThis question is really quite vague, but I'll answer to the best of my ability.
Sexual reproduction starts off with the process of Meiosis, and meiosis creates haploid cells called gametes. These haploid cells--which have half the number of chromosomes as diploid (somatic) cells--will later fuse with another haploid cell in order to have the correct amount of chromosomes. The fusion of the two gametes is called fertilization (egg and sperm). After conception, the fertilized zygote will grow and develop into a recognizable organism until gestation period is over. Sexual reproduction creates multicellular organisms. Asexual reproduction creates unicellular organisms (bacterium).

How does DNA in offspring produced by asexual reproduction compare to DNA in offspring produced by sexual reproduction?
If an offspring was produced through asexual reproduction, its genes will be exactly like its parent. This is more or less a clone of the parent. An example of this is a bacterium. If an offspring is produced through sexual reproduction, it will contain genes from both parents. (such as humans)
What type of reproduction results in uniform offspring?
hen an offspring is produced asexually and looks exactly like the parent.
What are the sources of variation in the offspring produced by sexual reproduction?
Random assortment & crossing-over
In sexual reproduction an offspring is produced with genes from both parents When the offspring has a new genetic variation that it got from neither of its parents it is called an?
mutation
What kind of offspring are produced from sexual reproduction?
Offspring that are genetically different from its parents. Each parents contributes half the number of chromosomes, therefore the offspring has genes from its mom and from its dad.
Why is offspring produced by asexual reproduction identical to the parent that produced them?
There are no genetics

A new combination of hereditary material is produced in offspring through .?
Sexual reproduction is a new combination of hereditary material that is produced in offspring.
What type of reproduction results in uniform offspring?
hen an offspring is produced asexually and looks exactly like the parent.
What are the sources of variation in the offspring produced by sexual reproduction?
Random assortment & crossing-over
What cellular process did plants undergo if they were clones?
Clones are offspring that are genetically identical to their parents and are produced through asexual reproduction, as opposed to sexual reproduction which produces a genetically different offspring.
Living things come from other living things?
what is the word for a new organism produced by a living thing
Is the term clone applicable to the offspring produced by vegetative reproduction?
yes as it is a type of asexual rep.

Why is there great Variation in the offspring produced through sexual reproduction but little or no variation in the offspring produced through asexual reproduction?
In asexual reproduction there is no independent orientation of chromosomes, not crossing over and no random fertilization. Cloning the exact genetic material from organism to progeny is all asexual reproduction is. So, very little chance of anything but mutation, copying errors, are going to happen in asexual reproduction.
