PATHOLOGY

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: -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: -Identical twins have the same DNA as each other, but different from their parents. A clone, however, only has one parent and has exactly the same DNA as that parent.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
