Which type of asexual reproduction is taking place?
A planarian is a non-parasitic flatworm.  If a planarian was injured by a predator, it could re-grow its body parts.  If the body parts were not eaten by the predator, the part could re-grow into a whole new planarian as well.

• Budding
• Fission
• Vegetative propagation
• Regeneration

The offspring from asexually reproduced organisms are?

• Different than their parents
• Identical to parents
• Like a combination from both parents
• A different species

If two organisms reproduce sexually, then their offspring will exhibit a genetic makeup that is -

• identical to only one parent
• identical to all of its siblings
• a unique combination of traits
• the recessive traits of each parent

All of the offspring of an organism have the same genetic material, which is identical to the parent organism. From this, we can conclude that this organism -

• makes its own food
• is unicellular
• live in a marine habitat
• reproduces asexually
