Which of the following describes sexual reproduction?

• Is genetically identical to the parent

A group of students prepared a table listing the types of reproduction that occur in several organisms.
Based on this information, which of the organisms can produce offspring that are genetically identical to the parent organism?

• Cats, hydras, frogs, and ferns only
• Ferns only
• Amoebas, yeasts, hydras, and ferns only
• Amoebas and yeasts only

Certain species of whiptail lizards have only female individuals and no males. These lizards reproduce asexually. What is one advantage of asexual reproduction for these lizards?

• A new population can be esatblished by a single individual in a relatively short period of time.
• All of the members of a population are genetically very similar and less able to survive environmental changes.
• They are smaller than lizards that reproduce sexually.
• They are more likely to develop a variety of tail lengths.
