3. Why is the offspring formed by asexual reproduction referred to as a clone?

Answers (1)

The term clone refers to a group of genetically and morphologically similar individuals.  In asexual reproduction, a single organism is able to give rise to offspring. Due to this, the offspring produced are copies of their parents. These offsprings are exact replicas of each other also. That is why the offspring produced by asexual reproduction are referred to as a clone.
