Question

The picture shows the process of asexual reproduction in hydra. According to the illustration, all offspring are
A) genetically varied.
B) genetically identical to the parent.
C) slightly similar to the parent.
D) genetically very different from the parent.

Answer 1

Answer: Option B) genetically identical to the parent.

Thus, the new organism is genetically identical to the parent.
