EastWind [94]

Answer:

The right answer are : mitosis, diploid cells, and identical DNA.

Asexual reproduction is observed in multicellular (animal and plant) and unicellular organisms. In botany, the term often used for the asexual multiplication of plants is vegetative multiplication. In all cases of asexual reproduction, the result is identical to the mother.

Tourism would boost the economy and value of the land. The local people can make a big profit  and save their forest too.
