Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which offsprings arise from a single organism and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes. The offspring produced from asexual reproduction is exact copy of the parent.
Detailed explanation-2: -In asexual reproduction, only a single parent is involved. So, the offspring produced are genetically identical to the parent and to each other as well. Such offspring are called clones.
Detailed explanation-3: -In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the process of asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved and there is no fusion of the male and the female gamete. As a result, the offsprings so produced are morphologically and genetically similar to their parents and are thus, called. clones.
