What is it called when one parent produces offspring that is an exact copy of the parent?

it is called chlorobiastic which means the offspring looks exactly like its parent.


What part of a cell contains information about a single inherited trait?

The nucleus of a cell contains the genetic information in the form of DNA. This DNA carries information about inherited traits encoded in genes, which are passed down from parents to offspring.


How is sexual and asexual reproduction different in inherited genetic material?

Sexual reproduction is with two parents and takes one sperm and one egg cell to create one embryo. The two parents and the offspring have different genetic information. Asexual reproduction is with one parent and both the parent and the offspring have the same genetic information, duh.


When living things reproduce they pass copies of their DNA to their what?

When living things reproduce, they pass copies of their DNA to their offspring. This genetic material carries the instructions for growth, development, and functioning, ensuring that traits are inherited from one generation to the next. In sexual reproduction, DNA is contributed by both parents, while in asexual reproduction, a single organism typically passes on its genetic material to its clones.


Why are identical twins not clones of their parents?

Children are the results of a mix of their parent's DNA. They do not have the exact same DNA, they have half their mother's and half their father's. Character and personality play a major part in allowing anyone to identify a person - particularly parents, who spend a lot of time with, and have a lot of opportunity to observe the differences between, their children.

Do sexual and asexual reproduction compare?

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.


A genetic study in which a single characteristic is followed from parents to offspring is reffered to as a?

monohybrid cross


How are traits inherited from parents to offspring?

Each parent passes on half of their DNA to their offspring. DNA is the code that determines how every single thing in the body is built. So each offspring gets the instructions for half of their body building plan from the mother and half from the father.


What are the differences between offspring form by sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction?

Offspring formed by sexual reproductions use both parents' genetic material that differs from the parents. Offspring formed by asexual reproduction is formed by a single parent and is identical to the parent.

What is the percentage of the possible types of offspring had the same genotype as the parents?

Since there is no information on the genetic make up of the parents only a generalized set of answerscan be given.The chance of an offspring being genetically identical in every way to either or both of its parents is virtually nil.The percentages of individuals that match the genetics of the parents for a few traits can be determined through the use of a punnet square.For example considering a single trait where one parent is homozygous dominant and the other is homozygous recessive zero offspring will have the genotype of either parent.If the parents are heterozygous for a single trait 50% of the offspring will have the genotype of the parents for that trait.The more gene pairs considered the less likely an offspring identical to the parents is possible.


What do the children of asexual reproduction have in common with the parents?

Well normally asexual organisms are difined as single celled organisms the offspring of the parent would be identical. They would inheret everything from their one parent rather than from two separate parents, basically like cloning. The clone would be the offspring.

What is more strongly inherited?

Traits or characteristics that are controlled by a single gene, such as blood type or certain genetic disorders, are typically more strongly inherited than traits that are influenced by multiple genes or the environment, such as height or intelligence. These single-gene traits are passed down in a predictable manner from parents to offspring.
