The production of new individual from the parents of the same species is called reproduction.
Hence, if it's a-sexual then also the offspring will be genetically identical.

In asexual reproduction the offspring are likely to be "genetically identical" to their parents.
Explanation:
The off springs are 'genetically identical' to their parents because there is only parent involved in the reproduction. The 'parent cell' divides into two daughter cells that are the same copy of their parents.
In sexual reproduction two different parents are involved and the off spring possesses genes from both the parents. The off spring resembles to their parents but is not identical.
