Which of the following is a definition of asexual reproduction?
A. One individual produces offspring that are genetically identical to itself.
B. Two individuals combine their characteristics to produce offspring.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

In asexual reproduction, one individual produces offspring that are genetically identical to itself. These offspring are produced by mitosis. Mitosis is cell division. There are many invertebrates, including sea stars and sea anemones for example, that produce by asexual reproduction.

On the other hand, the gene combinations of two separate individual animals combine to produce offspring in sexual reproduction.
