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
