In asexual reproduction, half of the offspring's DNA is the same as the DNA in its one parent (AAAS Project 2061, n.d.).

Items that test for misconception RHM081 in this project (Original Project) and key idea (Genetic information in the form of …)
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen
RH050001	In plants that reproduce asexually, all of the parent's DNA is passed to its offspring.	29%
RH031002	In organisms that reproduce without the combining of two cells, the information in the DNA molecules of parents and offspring is identical.	26%
RH051001	In asexually reproducing organisms, all of an offspring's DNA is identical to its parent's DNA.	26%
RH049001	Sea anemones can reproduce asexually, and when they do, all of the offspring's DNA is the same as the DNA in its one parent.	26%
RH010002	In organisms that reproduce without the combining of two cells, all of the information in the parent's DNA molecules is passed to its offspring.	25%
