AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The offspring which is produced by this type of asexual reproduction is genetically same and identical to the parent cell. They are exact copies of the parent cell and thus, the offspring is called as a clone .

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction, the simplest and most primitive method of reproduction, involves a single parent and produces a clone, an organism that is genetically identical to the parent.

Detailed explanation-3: -More narrowly, a clone can be defined as an individual organism that was grown from a single body cell of its parent and that is genetically identical to it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Clones contain identical sets of genetic material in the nucleus-the compartment that contains the chromosomes-of every cell in their bodies. Thus, cells from two clones have the same DNA and the same genes in their nuclei.

Detailed explanation-5: -Identical twins have the same DNA as each other, but different from their parents. A clone, however, only has one parent and has exactly the same DNA as that parent.
