Which statement about asexual reproduction is true?

AThe offspring develops genes similar to its parent plant.
BThe offspring receives equal genetic information from its parent plant.
CThe offspring receives half the genetic information of its parent plant.
DThe offspring receives one fourth of the genetic information of its parent plant.

Verified Answer :

The correct answer is B since the organism is just copying itself.

Answer:

The correct answer would be B) The offspring receives equal genetic information from its parent plant.

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which daughter cells or offspring are produced from a single parent.

This reproduction method does not include the formation and fusion of gametes.

All the offspring produced receive same and equal genetic information from the parent cell.  

Due to identical genetic content, the offspring are also termed as clones.
