Heredity is the genetic information passing for traits from parents to their offspring, either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. This is the process by which an offspring cell or organism acquires or becomes predisposed to the characteristics of its parent cell or organism.
A form of reproduction that does not involve meiosis, ploidy reduction or fertilization, and the offspring is a clone of the parent organism; because of no exchange of genetic material. Supplement. An organism capable of asexual reproduction is able to produce offspring in the absence of a mate.n asexual reproduction, the offspring is a clone of the parent and therefore results in low genetic variation in the species as a whole. Examples of asexual reproduction are: 1  Binary fission. 2  Budding. 3  Vegetative reproduction. 4  Spore formation. 5  Fragmentation.
