African violets are plants that can be grown from leaf cuttings. The cuttings form both roots and shoots. How does the genetic material of the offspring of new plants grown from cuttings compare to the genetic material of the parent plant?

the same

Explanation:

The genetic materials of the offspring of new plants grown from cuttings and that of the parent plant are usually the same.

The type of reproduction at play here is asexual. Asexual reproduction involves only a single parent and ensures that both the resulting offspring and the parent share the same genetic material.

The process of asexual reproduction involves mitosis - the division of vegetative cells. Both the parent cells and the daughter cells of mitosis are identical - phenotypically and genotypically.
