### Life Science Review: Organisms and Their Characteristics

#### Table Analysis

The table below provides data on organisms and their various characteristics. Based on the information in the table, determine which organism is most likely to produce offspring that are all genetically identical.

**Organisms and Their Characteristics:**

| **Organism**        | **Kingdom** | **Mode of Reproduction** | **Mode of Feeding** |
|---------------------|-------------|--------------------------|---------------------|
| Puffball            | Fungi       | Asexual & Sexual         | Decomposer          |
| Rose bush           | Plantae     | Sexual                   | Photosynthesis      |
| Large mouth bass    | Animalia    | Sexual                   | Consumer            |
| Hydra               | Animalia    | Asexual                  | Consumer            |

### Quiz Question
**Based on the information in the table, which organism is most likely to produce only offspring that are all genetically identical?**

A. Puffball  
B. Rose bush  
C. Large mouth bass  
D. Hydra  

### Explanation:

- **Asexual Reproduction**: This type of reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent organism.
- **Sexual Reproduction**: This type results in genetically diverse offspring due to the combination of genetic material from two parents.

**Answer: D. Hydra**
- Hydra reproduces asexually, meaning its offspring will be genetically identical to the parent organism.

### Graphical Representation

There is no graph or diagram associated with this content; the information is presented in tabular form for better understanding and comparison of the characteristics of different organisms.

#### Intended Use

This content is suitable for educational purposes, particularly for students learning about the modes of reproduction and characteristics of different kingdoms in biology.
