Question

11. Why is the offspring formed by asexual
reproduction referred as a clone?
2. Why are the offsprings of oviparous
animal at a greater risk as compared to
offsprings of viviparous organisms?​

Answer 1

Its because the off springs produced by asexual organisms  resemble their parents morphologically .

Answer 2

• The offspring formed by Asexual reproduction is identical to the parent and is referred to as a clone. This is because the parent and the offspring are morphologically and genetically similar to each other.

• Oviparous animals lay eggs which are not always safe from unfavourable environmental conditions and predators. This is why offspring of Oviparous animals are at a great risk as compared to that of viviparous animals.
