b) created by the environment
c) passed on from two parents
d) learned from siblings

Which is a characteristic of asexual reporduction?
a) half of the offspring have learned traits similar to the parents
b) all of the learned traits pass from parents to offspring
c) All of the inherited traits are the same as the parent
