What is a clone? Why do offsprings formed by asexual reproduction exhibit remarkable similarity?

Answers (1)

Ans.
Clone refers to either group of cells or organisms which are produced asexually from a cell or individual organism. Clones exhibit remarkable
similarity because they possess exact copies of the DNA of their parent.

Clones are produced by asexual means from the single parent so these cells tend to have similar genetic material as a parent because asexual reproduction
shows no gamete formation by meiosis or fertilization of male and female gametes.

Hence offspring's of asexual reproduction are similar among themselves and with parent organism as there is no genetic recombination.
