Because an offspring gets 23 chromosomes from each parent through meiosis
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)
In sexual reproduction an entirely new individual is produced. The genes are not exactly the same as either parent. In asexual reproduction the new individual is exactly the same as the parent. It is a cone of the parent.
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.
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.
An offspring is not identical to its parents because, an offspring is the product of the fertilization of two different individuals. Only some features are inherited from either parent, thus the offspring is not an identical copy of the parents.
Sexual reproduction produces offspring similar to parents. Asexual reproduction causes the offspring to be exactly the same as the one parent.
The genes passed on by each parent causes a 'mixing' in a way they are expressed. You and your parents do not have exactly the same genes. Your DNA is so unique that it can identify you from every other human.
Either parent. Since HD is carried on a dominant gene, if the gene is inherited from either parent, the offspring will develop HD.
the child has only one parent so the offspring will look exactly like the parent.
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)

it is called chlorobiastic which means the offspring looks exactly like its parent.
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.
InheritanceHeredity is the passing of traits from parents to offspring.
The offspring has half of each of their parents' gene
Reproduction is the biological process by which offspring are produced, either sexually or asexually. Sexually reproduction involves the fusion of gametes from two parents to create genetically diverse offspring, while asexual reproduction involves the creation of offspring from a single parent without the involvement of gametes.
