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.
The offspring shows variation because sexual reproduction means that there were two gametes involved (one maternal, one paternal). This means that the offspring has a new genotype, different from the parents, made up of 50% maternal genes and 50% paternal genes.
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.
The process you are referring to is called "asexual reproduction." In this type of reproduction, a single parent plant can produce many offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. This is common in certain plants like strawberries and potatoes.
The key difference is that asexual reproduction involves a single parent, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic material to produce genetically diverse offspring.
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)
asexual reproduction
This is called "asexual reproduction".
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.
Clones
Genetically identical to the parent plant because they are produced from asexual means such as fragmentation, suckers, or tubers.
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
A type of reproduction that involves only one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
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.
Offspring of asexual reproduction are genetically identical to the parent, so they look very similar or identical to the parent organism. They do not exhibit genetic variation like offspring from sexual reproduction.
