Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent. The new individuals produced are genetically and physically identical to each other, i.e., they are the clones of their parents.
Detailed explanation-2: -In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.
Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent.
Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction skips meiosis and fertilization of male and female gametes and therefore, produces genetically identical progeny i.e. clone by single parent cell.
Detailed explanation-5: -In the process of asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved and there is no fusion of the male and the female gamete. As a result, the offsprings so produced are morphologically and genetically similar to their parents and are thus, called. clones.
