The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the type of reproduction where the newborn organism is an exact copy of the parent organism. 2. **Identifying Types of Reproduction**: There are two main types of reproduction in organisms: sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. Additionally, there are concepts like deviation and mutation, but these are not types of reproduction. 3. **Analyzing Sexual Reproduction**: In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic material (sperm and ovum) to produce offspring. This results in genetic variation, meaning the offspring are not exact copies of the parents. 4. **Analyzing Asexual Reproduction**: In asexual reproduction, a single parent organism produces offspring without the involvement of gametes (sperm and ovum). The offspring are produced through processes like binary fission, budding, or fragmentation. 5. **Example of Asexual Reproduction**: A common example of asexual reproduction is amoeba, which reproduces through binary fission. In this process, the parent cell divides to form two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent. 6. **Conclusion**: Since asexual reproduction results in offspring that are exact copies of the parent organism, the correct answer to the question is "Asexual Reproduction". **Final Answer**: The new born organism is the exact copy of the parent organism in **Asexual Reproduction**. ---
