GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -A clone is a group of the organism produced from a single parent through asexual reproduction or progeny of single plant obtained by asexual reproduction while in other processes like hybridization, cross-pollination and self-pollination mixing of two gametes is taking place.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vegetative propagation and self-pollination produces a clone of similar individuals, because the offspring are produced from a single parent and hence have the same set of genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Clones are a group of individuals which are produced from a single parent by the process of asexual reproduction. These organisms are genetically similar to the donor organism. Cloning can be performed by using the complete organisms or the cells from the single parent.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
