Asexual reproduction see concept 13.1 (page 255) asexual reproduction see concept 13.1 (page 255) leads to a loss of genetic material requires both meiosis and mitosis is limited to plants produces offspring genetically identical to the parent is limited to single-cell organisms

The answer is ‘produces offspring genetically identical to the parent’. Asexual reproduction does not involve gametes, therefore, there is no combination and recombination of chromosomes that would give the offspring genetic variability. Rather, offspring grow from a part of the parent. An example is the budding off of yeast.
