Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

All somatic cell (i.e the cells which do not produce gamete) divide by the process of mitosis. In mitosis, each daughter cell is identical to its parent cell and consists of exact copy of genetic material as its parents. Same set of chromosomes are inherited after the replication of chromosomes of parent under similar biological environment. Therefore, all species that reproduce asexually by mitotic cell division are also physically identical unlike the ones producing asexually through meiosis cell division of sex cells.

Hence, the given statement is true
