A
both adult mammals
B
produced from cuttings
C
genetically similar
D
genetically identical
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Reproductive cloning is defined as the deliberate production of genetically identical individuals. Each newly produced individual is a clone of the original. Monozygotic (identical) twins are natural clones.

Detailed explanation-2: -The copied material, which has the same genetic makeup as the original, is referred to as a clone. Researchers have cloned a wide range of biological materials, including genes, cells, tissues and even entire organisms, such as a sheep.

Detailed explanation-3: -Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), also called nuclear transfer, uses a different approach than artificial embryo twinning, but it produces the same result: an exact genetic copy, or clone, of an individual.

Detailed explanation-4: -vegetative reproduction in plants, e.g. water hyacinth producing multiple copies of genetically identical plants through apomixis. binary fission in bacteria. parthenogenesis in certain animals. 15-Jun-2022
