Detailed explanation-1: -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 . Both multicellular and unicellular species exhibit asexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Natural Cloning Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction where the DNA of the bacteria replicates and the cell divides into two identical cells. Budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis are some examples of natural cloning processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The offspring that arise by asexual reproduction from either unicellular or multicellular organisms inherit the full set of genes of their single parent and thus the newly created individual is genetically and physically similar to the parent or an exact clone of the parent.

Detailed explanation-4: -Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer 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. This was the method used to create Dolly the Sheep.
