Answer:

The offspring will be genetically identical to the parent plant.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the parent cell has no partner to make a different genetic code in the DNA of the new plant.

it’s the same as the parent. There is no other parent for the offspring to be mixed with, so it will look identical to the parent.
