The observation that there are no sequence differences across dozens of genes in the sampled stems suggests that the sampled species is capable of asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction involves the production of offspring from a single parent, without the involvement of meiosis and fertilization. This process results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, which explains the lack of sequence differences observed in the sampled stems.
