Because the DNA is replicated exactly from the parent to the daughter. However, there is the mixing of the DNA, because if there wasn't you'd has some serious genetic issues, so every once in awhile, asexually reproduce organisms will do some mix-up or mutate. However, for the most part, it's just a plain photocopy, and that's all that you've got.
Asexual reproduction occurs by process of mitosis where daughter cells are identical(clones) to the parent cell ( same number of chromosomes and no crossing over takes place, no variation occurs) Whereas, sexual reproduction takes place my meiosis, where crossing over and formation of chiasma result in variations and so the daughter cells are not identical to the parent cell.
for platoweb its true
it's supposed to do with chromosomes in the nuclei of the sperm and ovum. The chromosomes contain chemicals, i believe, that have traits of the parents, such as eye, hair and skin colour,etc.
Asexual reproduction only includes one organism. It is basically growing a clone on itself that will break off and become its own organism. It is completely identical to the parent because there was only one parent giving chromosomes, while in sexual reproduction, 2 parents give chromosomes which combine to form an organism that is not identical to either parent completely, but rather a mixture of both.
Because the genes are direct from somatic or body cells and do not need to be cut in half and joined by another half from a second parent. The genes are therefore from one parent, giving the child one set of DNA from the parent, that DNA codes for traits that are identical to the parent.
Asexual reproduction replicates only the genes of the original cell, which splits to produce two virtually identical cells.
Offspring resulting from sexual reproduction are not identical to either parent, because half of the offspring's genes come from one parent, and the other half comes from the other parent.
In asexual reproduction, one parent contributes genetic information to its offspring, hence, the same genotype.
Because in the asexual reproduction the animal splits in two creating an identical copy.
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 production is when there is one parent that produces offspring that are identical to the parent. Basically a copy of the parents DNA.
Genetically identical offspring are produced by asexual reproduction, also known as cloning. In asexual reproduction, the parent organism simply replicates its own genetics. This is in contrast to sexual reproduction in which two parent organisms combine their genetics.
Asexual reproduction: the same DNA is copied and passed on to offspring who are basically identical to the parent. Just like a clone
Genetically identical to the parent cell (unless of course there have been mutations)
This is called "asexual reproduction".
This is called "asexual reproduction".
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
Mitosis
There are no genetics
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.
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.
asexual reproduction
Asexual production is when there is one parent that produces offspring that are identical to the parent. Basically a copy of the parents DNA.
Asexual: the offspring has a single parent.Sexual: the offspring has two parents (combining some chromosomes from each parent). In asexual reproduction, as long as there are no mutations, the offspring are identical to the parents; in sexual reproduction, they are not.
Genetically identical offspring are produced by asexual reproduction, also known as cloning. In asexual reproduction, the parent organism simply replicates its own genetics. This is in contrast to sexual reproduction in which two parent organisms combine their genetics.
