Which process involves the production of genetically identical offspring by mitosis?

  • Fertilization

    Study Notes

    Reproduction

    • Asexual reproduction involves the production of genetically identical offspring by mitosis, where a single parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells with identical genetic material.
    • Sexual reproduction, on the other hand, involves the fusion of gametes from two parents to produce offspring with a unique combination of genetic traits.

    Cloning

    • A clone is an organism that is genetically identical to another organism, produced through asexual reproduction.

    Chromosomes

    • Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes, which are chromosomes that are not involved in determining the sex of an organism.
    • Human somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs.
