Question

(PLEASE HELP!!!) Suppose scientists genetically modified a species of algae to produce more oil. This algal species reproduces asexually. Will all of the offspring of the genetically-modified algae also produce more oil? How do you know?

Answer 1

Yes all of the offspring of the genetically-modified algae would produce more oil.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an organism is genetically-modified to reproduce asexually, it makes exact copies of itself since it is the only one passing genes whereas if normal sex were to occur and both parents would pass 50%-50% of their genes down to the child.
