Open in App
Solution

Progeny:

  1. Progeny refers to the offspring of living organisms such as plants and animals.
  2. Progeny can be produced by asexual and sexual reproduction.
  3. The progeny produced by asexual reproduction involves a single parent and progeny is identical to the parent, also known as a clone.
  4. The progeny produced by sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes from both the male and female parent; therefore, the progeny is different from the parents.
