The term clone is used to describe offsprings which are: |
Genetically similar and morphologically different Genetically different and morphologically similar Genetically different and morphologically different Genetically and morphologically similar |
Genetically and morphologically similar |
The correct answer is Option (4) →Genetically and morphologically similar In asexual reproduction, a single parent is involved in producing the offspring. It occurs without the formation and fusion of gametes. As a result, the offspring that are produced are not only morphologically and genetically identical to one another but are also exact copies of their parents. The term clone is used to describe such morphologically and genetically similar individuals. Therefore the offspring produced by asexual reproduction are called clones. |
