Yes, they are genetically identical because starfish reproduce asexually, and therefore the genetic makeup of each one doesn't change.
What could be said is that the offspring will not be identical, genetically or regarding appearance; there will be variation between offspring and their sexually reproducing parents.
c. produce identical offspring. Asexual reproduction involves the creation of new individuals without the need for gametes or fertilization, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent organism.
A. Budding. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops as an outgrowth or bud from the parent organism, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
False. In hybridization, breeders cross two individuals that are genetically different in order to produce offspring with desirable traits from both parents. Genetically identical individuals would result from cloning, not hybridization.
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.
No, the offspring produced by conjugation are not genetically identical to their parents. Conjugation involves the transfer of genetic material between two bacterial cells, resulting in genetic diversity in the offspring.
They always do.
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.
Genetically identical to the parent cell (unless of course there have been mutations)
Genetically identical to the parent plant because they are produced from asexual means such as fragmentation, suckers, or tubers.
asexual reproduction
Clones
Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves only one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. This process is common in organisms such as bacteria, plants, and some animals like starfish and sea anemones.
When breeders cross two genetically identical organisms the same genes have an increased chance of expressing themselves in the offspring. However, the offspring will also have genes from ancestors.
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
What could be said is that the offspring will not be identical, genetically or regarding appearance; there will be variation between offspring and their sexually reproducing parents.
