Question

How does DNA in offspring produced by asexual reproduction compare to DNA in offspring produced by sexual reproduction?

Answer 1

Reproduction is the biological process by which new human beings-"offspring"-are produced by their "parents". Reproduction is a basic feature of all known life; each human organism exists as a result of reproduction. There are two forms of reproduction: asexual and sexual.

Complete answer:
In asexual reproduction, without another organism's intervention, an organism may reproduce. Asexual reproduction is not confined to single-celled species. A method of asexual reproduction is the cloning of an organism. An organism produces a genetically close or identical copy of itself through asexual reproduction.
Typically, sexual reproduction involves the sexual intercourse of two specialized cells, called gametes, which contain half the number of normal cell chromosomes and are formed by meiosis, with a female of the same species typically fertilized by a male to form a fertilized zygote. This creates offspring species whose genetic features are derived from those of both parents or organisms.
There is only one parent in asexual reproduction, so the offspring in terms of genetic make-up is similar to this parent. There are two parents for the sexual one that both contribute to the individual's genetic makeup, which means that it is not similar to either of them, but rather has a genetic makeup that is a mixture of each, half each.
Another argument is that all offspring from asexual reproduction are similar to each other as they are all identical to their one parent, but there is a potential for various gametes to meet each time in sexuality such that the offspring individuals are not identical to each other.

Note:
If a single parent creates an offspring without the presence of gamete formation, the reproduction is considered asexual reproduction. As a result, the created offspring are not only identical to each other but are also exact copies of their parents. Such a group of individuals that are morphologically and genetically identical is called clones.
