If an aquarium acquired the hammerhead shark at the top of the family tree shown in 1950, and the aquarium has only had descendants of that shark since, what would best describe the hammerhead shark indicated by the circle?

• It will have genes from both its parents

• It is genetically identical to the hammerhead from 1950

• It will share some of its traits with its siblings

• It is a male because all asexual offspring are male
