The statement that is NOT accurate in describing the process depicted in Example D is:
**offspring are genetically identical to their parent.**
In sexual reproduction (which is what is being described here with the involvement of male and female fish), the offspring are typically genetically diverse due to the combination of genetic material from two parents. This results in offspring that are not identical to either parent, unlike in asexual reproduction, where the offspring would be genetically identical to the parent.
