Virgin birth

So I read that some animals are able to reproduce without a mate and I was wondering what sort of genes these children have? Are they  identical to be mother (like identical twins) or are they more like brother and sisters of the mother? 

 

Thanks

They would effectively be clones, or twins if you prefer, of the mother...
