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:

The text states that in asexual reproduction, the parent passes on all of its genetic information to the offspring. So, the offspring are genetically identical to their parents unless a genetic mutation occurs.

Answer:

The offspring of asexual reproduction are genetically identical to their parent (except when a genetic mutation happens).
