What type of reproduction produces genetic clones of a parent?

A) sexual reproduction
B) asexual reproduction
C) hermaphroditic
D) external fertilization
E) internal fertilization

Asexual reproduction produces genetic clones of a parent, meaning that there is no genetic variation between the parent and the offspring. This is different from sexual reproduction, which involves the fusion of gametes from two parents and results in genetic variation in the offspring. Hermaphroditic, external fertilization, and internal fertilization do not necessarily produce genetic clones of a parent.
