Which organism would more closely resemble its parent: one produced by asexual reproduction or one produced by sexual reproduction? Why?

Asked by daypoe

Answer (3)

An organism produced by asexual reproduction would more closely resemble its parent because an organism produced through asexual reproduction is created by the parent duplicating its genetic code and separating into two. Essentially the child is a duplicate.

Asexual, because the offspring comes directly from its parent organism

Answered by rhea | 2024-06-10

An organism produced by asexual reproduction closely resembles its parent because it is genetically identical to it. In contrast, organisms produced by sexual reproduction are genetically varied due to the combination of genetic material from two parents. Therefore, asexual offspring are clones, while sexual offspring are unique individuals.
