Define clone:
A
A group of genetically-identical organisms derived from a single original parent cell
B
A group of genetically-identical organisms design in a laboratory using biotechnology.
C
An organism derived from a single original parent cell
D
A group of genetically organisms derived from a group of original cell.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The body cells of plants and animals are clone s ultimately derived from the mitosis (cell reproduction) of a single fertilized egg. 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-2: -Monozygotic (identical) twins are natural clones. 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-3: -A clone refers to the offspring of an organism which is formed through asexual reproduction. Since they possess exact copies of the DNA from their parent, so clones exhibit remarkable similarity. Suggest Corrections. Video Solution. EXEMP-Grade 10-Biology-How do Organisms Reproduce?-

Detailed explanation-4: -A clone is defined as an exact carbon copy or copies of a single genetical parent. The word ‘clone’ refers only to living species. If the cloning technique is applied to veterinary science, valuable animals could be cloned from desirable adult cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells. Because this process is so critical, the steps of mitosis are carefully controlled by certain genes.
