Reproduction in Organisms

Question:
Assertion: Asexual reproduction involves formation of clones of an organism.
Reason:Clones are morphologically and genetically dissimilar individuals.
Options:
Both Assertion (A) and reason (R) are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both Assertion (A) and reason (R) are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is not correct.
Both Assertion (A) and Reason are false (F )
Correct Answer:
Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is not correct.
Explanation:
The reproduction is known as asexual reproduction, when an offspring is produced by a single parent without the involvement of gamete formation. As a result, the offspring that are produced are not only similar to one another but are also exact copies of their parent. Such a group of morphologically and genetically similar individuals are called clones.
