AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Through asexual reproduction, many plants can produce genetically identical offshoots (clones) of themselves, which then develop into independent plants. This process is called vegetative propagation, or vegetative reproduction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Clones are formed by the same group of cells. They are genetically related to each other and their parents. In vegetative reproduction, the offspring are genetically identical new plants that formed from vegetative parts of parent plants. So, the term clone applies to the offspring formed by vegetative reproduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is Vegetative Propagation? Vegetative propagation is an asexual method of plant reproduction that occurs in its leaves, roots and stem. This can occur through fragmentation and regeneration of specific vegetative parts of plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Clonal Propagation refers to the process of asexual reproduction by multiplication of genetically identical copies of individual plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -Organism cloning. Organism cloning (also called reproductive cloning) refers to the procedure of creating a new multicellular organism, genetically identical to another. In essence this form of cloning is an asexual method of reproduction, where fertilization or inter-gamete contact does not take place.
