AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An organism can reproduce asexually by creating clones that are genetically and physically identical to the parent. Asexual reproduction techniques like binary fission and budding produce progeny who are genetically identical to their parents and are therefore clones.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which a single parent produces a new progeny. The new progeny produced are genetically and physically identical to their parents, i.e., they are clones.

Detailed explanation-3: -Budding or blastogenesis is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. For example, the small bulb-like projection coming out from the yeast cell is known as a bud.

Detailed explanation-4: -budding, in biology, a form of asexual reproduction in which a new individual develops from some generative anatomical point of the parent organism.

Detailed explanation-5: -The main difference between clone and asexual reproduction is that a clone is a group of genetically identical group of organisms whereas asexual reproduction is the method responsible for the production of genetically identical individuals or cells.
