Reproduction

Where does an offspring get its traits in asexual reproduction?

• From both parents

• From only one parent

• From neither parent

• There are no traits handed down

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
