Asexual reproduction

• what does asexual reproduction produce?

  it produces complete offspring that are genetically identical to the parent
• where does asexual reproduction take place?

  • it takes place in unicellular organisms such as yeast and bacteria and in some insects, such as the greenfly
  • it also takes place in some flowering plants, where organs such as bulbs, tubers and runners produce large numbers of identical offspring in a relatively short time - however most of these plants can also reproduce sexually
• why is there not genetic variation between individuals from asexual reproduction ?

  as they are genetically identical
