What is assexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction is the creation of offspring made without the grouping of an egg and sperm. The parent and the offspring are genetically identical to each other. Both the parent and offspring are adapted to their surrounding environment.
Is an offspring different?
A clone is genetically identical to the parent. Offspring are 'children' that contain a mix of the father and the mothers DNA and so will be genetically different to both of their parents. Offspring from an asexually reproducing organism (i.e bacteria or rotifers) are sometimes referred to as clones as they contain identical DNA to the parent.
What are the differences between offspring form by sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction?
Offspring formed by sexual reproductions use both parents' genetic material that differs from the parents. Offspring formed by asexual reproduction is formed by a single parent and is identical to the parent.
Are sexually produced offspring genetically identical to either parent?
No. DNA is unique to every person in the world. Even identical twins have DNA markers that are different from each other. Therefore, when you have any offspring, sexually produced or lab-grown, that offspring is going to have a unique combination of DNA from both parents that will be unique only to that offspring.
What is a clone Why do offspring's formed by asexual reproduction exhibit remarkable similarity?
Asexual reproduction results in offspring with an identical genetic makeup as the parent cell which allows them to be called clones. In sexual reproduction genes from both parents combine resulting in offspring with different genetic make ups.
How are sexual and asexual alike?
1.They both can duplicate into two or more offspring. 2.Both can produce offspring (obviously) 3.The offspring is the same species as the "parent" 4.Invovle at least 1 "parent" 5.The offspring are also able to reproduce.

Does sexual reproduction result in more genetic variation in a species than asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction results in offspring which are genetically the same as the parent organism (not counting a rare mutation). Sexual reproduction produces a random mixture of the genetics derived from both parents.In sexual reproduction, offspring are not identical to either parent.

Is Simple cell division of both plants and animals is an identical process?
Simple cell division of both plants and animals is NOT an identical process.
How does the offspring of asexual reproduction differ from the offspring of sexual reproduction?
Offspring from sexual reproduction have combined DNA from each of their parents. They are varied, as in a mixture of both parents. Example: if two bean plants, one tall and one short, sexually reproduce, the genotype will be Tt and offspring will most likely be tall (phenotype). Offspring from asexual reproduction does not vary. It is an exact copy of its parent organism, a clone, if you will. Example: If a short bean plant--a complete bean plant--asexually reproduces, it will have a genotype tt, (phenotype short) offspring that looks identical to it. I'm in 7th grade biology right now, and we learned this in December. Hope I helped!:) BvR
What was the genotype of the offspring that did not share the parent's phenotype?
The genotype of the offspring that had the same phenotype as the parents is rr or wrinkled. The phenotype for the seed shape of both parent plants is round.
