Question

what is asexual reproduction?
an individual organism does not live forever. the survival of any species depends on the ability to reproduce. reproduction lets genetic information be passed on to new organisms. reproduction involves various kinds of cell division.
most single - celled organisms and some multicellular organisms reproduce asexually. in asexual reproduction (ay•sehk•shoo•uhl ree•pruh•duhk•shuhn), one organism produces one or more new organisms that are identical to itself. these organisms live independently of the original organism. the organism that produces the new organism or organisms is called a parent. each new organism is called an offspring. the parent passes on all of its genetic information to the offspring. so, the offspring produced by asexual reproduction are genetically identical to their parents. they may differ only if a genetic mutation happens.

5 relate describe the genetic makeup of the offspring of asexual reproduction.

Explanation:

From the text, in asexual reproduction, the parent passes all its genetic info to offspring. So offspring are genetically identical to parents (unless mutation occurs).

Answer:

The offspring produced by asexual reproduction are genetically identical to their parents. This is because the parent organism passes on all of its genetic information to the offspring. The offspring may only differ genetically if a genetic mutation occurs.
