Q: What type of reproduction produces offspring from a single parent that share the exact same genetic material as the parent?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

When humans reproduce, there are two parents involved. DNA must be passed from both the mother and father to the child. Humans cannot reproduce with just one parent; humans can only reproduce sexually. But having just one parent is possible in other eukaryotic organisms, including some insects, fish, and reptiles. These organisms can reproduce asexually, meaning the offspring ("children") have a single parent and share the exact same genetic material as the parent. This is very different from reproduction in humans. Bacteria, being a prokaryotic, single-celled organism, must reproduce asexually.

 Choices:

- mutation

- microscopic reproduction

- sexual reproduction

- asexual reproduction


A:
asexual reproduction
