In asexual reproduction are offspring identical to their parent?

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.

---
The new individuals are genetically identical to the parent because mitosis produces cells genetically identical to the parent cell or cells.

Thankyou..

Why is offspring produced by asexual reproduction identical to the parent that produced them?
There are no genetics
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 is the creation of offspring from only one organism called?
asexual reproduction. Mitosis.
in asexual reproduction how many chromosomes is passed on from one parent to offspring?
how many (number of chromosomes are passed from parent to offspring in asexual reproduction
Why do offspring produce by sexual reproduction show variation from their parents?
In sexual reproduction, there are tow parents so there is a mixture in genes. In asexual reproduction, there is one parent so looks identical to that parent
What is an reproduction in which a single parent produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent?
This is called "asexual reproduction".
What is a reproduction in which a single parent produces offspring's that are identical to the parent?
This is called "asexual reproduction".
Is asexual reproduction is?
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
Is asexual reproduction?
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
Why is the offspring of asexual reproduction identical to the parent cell?
Mitosis
Why is offspring produced by asexual reproduction identical to the parent that produced them?
There are no genetics
Why is the offspring not identical to parent in asexual reproduction?
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.
When is the offspring in asexual reproduction not identical to the parent?
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.
The production of offspring genetically identical to the parent plant is the result of?
asexual reproduction
Why does asexual reproduction produce no variation in offspring?
Asexual production is when there is one parent that produces offspring that are identical to the parent. Basically a copy of the parents DNA.
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.
What type of reproduction results in offspring that are usually genetically identical to previous and explain why?
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.
