Asexual Reproduction

How does the DNA of the offspring formed from asexual reproduction compare to the parent?

• none of the DNA is transferred to the offspring

• half of the DNA is transferred to the offspring

• the DNA of the offspring is identical to the DNA of the parent

• none of these are correct

Which of these is NOT an advantage of asexual reproduction.

• Enables organisms to reproduce without a mate

• Requires less time and energy

• Results in little genetic variation
