Question

A strawberry plant is an example of a plant that can reproduce through the process of vegetative reproduction. Are the offspring of the strawberry plant genetically identical or genetically different from the parent? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Hello @_SebasQ !

Answer 2

asexual reproduction does not involve two parents and meiosis (which actually produces genetic variations via chromosomal cross over) for reproduction.

Answer 3

Now can u temme is strawberry genetically similar or dissimilar to their parents ?

Answer 4

@Abhisar
Since strawberries produce asexually, and asexual reproduction produces genetic variants. Wouldn't that mean that they're similar?

Answer 5

Dear, asexual reproduction does not produce any variations. The offsprings of asexual reproduction are xactly identical to each other and to their parents.

Answer 6

Now the question tells you that strawberries produce through vegetative reproduction which is a kind of asexual reproduction. So they will be genetiacally identical to their parents and to themselves.

Answer 7

Oh, I see what you were saying before. Thank you for clearing that up. I appreciate the help. @Abhisar
