Repeatedly Self-fertilized plants are homozygous that is why they are identical to the parents. They are not hybrids. Hybrids are essentially heterozygous due to cross fertilization.
One parent produces offspring that are exact copies of the parent.
Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent organism. This can lead to a lack of genetic diversity within a population.
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.
Only organisms reproducing by the assexual process of cloning.
No, asexual reproduction in plants produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant. This means that the resulting plants will have the same characteristics and appearance as the parent plant.
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.
This is called "asexual reproduction".
Asexual reproduction involves a single parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring with genetic variation due to the combination of genetic material from both parents.
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
Genetically identical to the parent cell (unless of course there have been mutations)
Asexual reproduction through processes such as binary fission or budding produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. In sexual reproduction, offspring inherit a combination of genetic material from both parents, resulting in similarities with the parents but not identical copies.
This is called "asexual reproduction".
Only organisms reproducing by the assexual process of cloning.
A type of reproduction that involves only one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
Asexual reproduction involves a single parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring with a unique combination of genetic material from each parent.
One parent produces offspring that are exact copies of the parent.
