Asexual reproduction differs from sexual reproduction in that, in asexual reproduction
(1) new organisms are usually genetically identical to the parent
(2) the reproductive cycle involves the production of games
(3) nuclei of sex cells fuse to form a zygote
(4) offspring show much genetic variation
O offspring show much genetic variation
O
nuclei of sex cells fuse to form a zygote
the reproductive cycle involves the production of gametes
new organisms are usually genetically identical to the parent

Answer 1

Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In asexual organism, there is only one parent involved hence there is no crossing over or homologous recombination of genetic material from another parent hence the offsprings are genetically identical to the parent without any genetic variation. No gametes are involved and common modes of asexual reproduction includes budding etc.
