All of the offspring of an organism have the same genetic material, which is identical to the parent organism?

binary fission

24.

Multiple Choice

1 pt

This is when a new organism grows by cell division on the body of its parent. The bud, or offspring is identical to the parent. The bud, when large enough, can break off of the parent and live on its own. Examples of this include yeast, hydra and potatoes.
