Asexual reproduction results in two organisms with:

Asexual reproduction results in two organisms with the same DNA.
To understand why this is the correct answer, we first need to understand what asexual reproduction is. Asexual reproduction is a form of reproduction in which offspring are produced without the involvement of gametes or sex cells. In other words, a single parent organism is capable of generating offspring that are genetically identical to itself.
In asexual reproduction, a parent organism can produce offspring through various methods such as binary fission, budding, or vegetative propagation. Regardless of the method, the offspring are produced by the parent's own cells, which means they contain the same genetic material as the parent. This results in the offspring having the same DNA as the parent.
In contrast, sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes from two parents, resulting in offspring that have a combination of genetic traits from both parents. This is why the options stating "different parents" and "different DNA" are not correct for asexual reproduction.
Therefore, the correct answer is "the same DNA."
