Vedclass · Answer

(C) clone is defined as a group of individuals that are genetically and morphologically identical.In asexual reproduction,only a single parent is involved,and there is no fusion of gametes or meiosis.Since the offspring are produced through mitotic cell division,they inherit the exact genetic makeup of the parent.Therefore,the offspring are identical to the parent and to each other,and they are referred to as clones.
