Is an offspring exactly similar to its parent? Why or why not?


An offspring is exactly similar to its parent in the case of asexual reproduction where a single parent gives rise to the offspring. For eg plants produced by vegetative propagation.
The off-spring produced by sexual reproduction is not similar to the parent as it is formed due to the fusion of male and female gametes which causes variations.
