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.
This is called "asexual reproduction".
This is called "asexual reproduction".
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
In asexual reproduction, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis.
Mitosis
There are no genetics
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.
asexual reproduction
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.
Asexual reproduction. This type of reproduction involves only one parent and offspring are genetically identical to the parent.
An organism that is produced by only one parent organism is called asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, offspring are genetically identical to the parent organism.
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.
