The incorrect statement is: "The offspring produced by sexual reproduction are genetically identical."

Why: Sexual reproduction involves meiosis (which includes independent assortment and crossing-over) and random fertilization, so each offspring gets a unique mix of parental chromosomes and alleles. That makes offspring genetically different (except in rare cases like identical twins or cloning).
