Sexual reproduction requires the mixture of DNAs from two different sources(i.e. you got a set of chromosomes from you mother and one from your father). Asexual reproduction involves a copying of just one source of DNA. In cloning, you take DNA from just one source and so it is asexual.

Why is cloning considered asexual?
Sexual reproduction requires DNA from two members of the same species to create new life. One male and one female. Cloning only requires DNA from only one source to create new life. Asexual reproduction (in nature) also produces new life with DNA from only one source.
Describe either parthenogenesis or cloning and compare the genomes of the offspring with those of the parents?
A.) Parthenogenesis is an asexual form of asexual reproduction found in females where growth and development of embryos or seeds occurs without fertilization by a male. The genome will be the same as the parent because the egg is not fertilized so it has all the same chromosomes as the parent.
What is the purpose of cloning plants?
Tissue culture cloning is the process of taking small parts of specimen plants and creating unlimited numbers of exact genetic copies asexually in a sterile lab setting. This process has been adapted to create genetically altered commercial food and medicinal crops.
How does sexual reproduction affect genetic traits?
Asexual reproduction impacts genetic variation by limiting future genetic change to mutations only; sexual reproduction allows future generation to mix in a nearly infinite range of phenotypes (external appearance).
Where can cloning be carried out?
In grain production. (Farming). Additional: The cloning of plants by vegetative propagation (taking cuttings) is the most common form of cloning today and will certainly continue to be so.
Why is asexual reproduction cloning?
cloning is asexual reproduction because asexual reproduction is to have an organism be produced by only one organism. So the item you clone is producing another organism.
Is asexual reproduction same as cloning?
No. Cloning is how you make a sexual system behave asexually - it is quiet complicated. Asexual reproduction is budding.
Is cloning sexual or asexual reproduction?
Cloning is a form of asexual reproduction because it does not involve the fusion of gametes from two different individuals. Instead, an organism is produced from a single parent's genetic material.
Is fragmentation asexual?
Fragmentation reproduction is a form of asexual reproduction or cloning where an organism is split into fragments. Each Fragment develops into a mature, fully grown individual.
Is cloning a type of sexual reproduction?
False. It is asexual
Why is cloning a form of reproduction?
Sexual reproduction requires the mixture of DNAs from two different sources(i.e. you got a set of chromosomes from you mother and one from your father). Asexual reproduction involves a copying of just one source of DNA. In cloning, you take DNA from just one source and so it is asexual.
What is asexual fragmentation?
Asexual fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction where an organism breaks into two or more fragments, each of which can develop into a new individual. This process is common in some animals, such as starfish and sponges, as well as in certain plants.
Which reproduction is binary fission budding and vegetative reproduction related to?
These are all a form of asexual reproduction.These are all a form of asexual reproduction.
What happens in Fragments?
Fragmentationor clonal fragmentation in multicellular or colonial organisms is a form of asexual reproduction or cloning where an organism is split into fragments.
What form of asexual reproduction is canola?
Canola is a plant ,not a form of asexual reproduction .
What reproduction by one parent is called asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction is reproduction that involves a single parent producing offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. This can occur through methods such as binary fission, budding, or fragmentation.
What form is cloning?
Cloning is a form of asexual reproduction where an organism is replicated from a single parent with the same genetic information. This can occur naturally in some organisms or be artificially induced in a laboratory setting.
