The term ‘clone’ cannot be applied to offspring formed by sexual reproduction because:


a. Offspring do not possess exact copies of parental DNA
b. DNA of only one parent is copied and passed on to the offspring
c. Offspring are formed at different times
d. DNA of parent and offspring are completely different.

Answers (1)

The answer is the option a) Offspring do not possess exact copies of parental DNA


Explanation: Crossing Over takes place during meiosis and is responsible for some alteration in genotype. During fertilisation, gene pools of two different individuals combine to form a zygote, which has a different genotype than both of its parents. Hence, the term cannot be applied to offspring formed by sexual reproduction.
