what is a process that can be used to produce offspring that are genetically identical to the parent?

Question

help!!!

Answer 1

Vegetative propagation gives you a plant with the same genetic material as the parent plant. This means that you take a part of the parent plant (a cutting) and get it to grow roots, becoming an individual plant, but genetically the same.
This can be from a root cutting (irises, horse radish, comfrey), a stem cutting (camellia, rose, conifers) or on some plants a leaf cutting (African violets, begonias).

Answer 2

If you are asking about plants, rooting a cutting from the original plant will give you another plant genetically identical to the parent. You can use horticultural vitamin B1 (follow directions -- more is not necessarily better) to encourage rooting, and when you make the cutting you should cut it to include a bud site or a joint to be submerged in the water and B1. This works best with plants that do not have a hard outer bark.

Many plants that grow from bulbs produce daughter bulbs, and the daughters are identical to the parent.

You can cut a large iris rhizome in half and replant, and the two plants will, of course, be genetically identical.

With the right tools, knowledge and growing conditions, you can clone a plant from a few cells from the parent, but it's pretty hard to do.

Answer 3

Vegetative reproduction. you are actually using a portion of the parent to grow the offspring. Just like taking a plant cutting and placing it in water or soil to root. The genes are identical to the parent because they are the parent.

Answer 4

Cloning.

Answer 5

Fragmentation, budding, sporogenesis, binary fission, parthenogenesis....or the more general term encompassing all these....asexual reproduction.

Answer 6

You are talking of cloning.
