Answers
Answer:
Solution : When an offspring is produced by a single parent without the involvement of gamete formation, the reproduction is called asexual reproduction. As a result, the offspring produced are not only similar to one another but are also exact copies of their parent
Reason and Assertion both are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
- When an offspring is produced by a single parent without the involvement of gamete formation, it is known as asexual reproduction.
- Resulting to which the offspring produced are not only similar but are also exact copies of their parent.
- This kind of group of morphologically and genetically similar individuals are known as clones.
- Asexual reproduction is type of reproduction that doesn't involves the fusion of gametes or change in number of chromosomes.
- An organism identical to parent or another organism is known as clone.
- Natural clones which are also known as identical twins occur in humans and other mammals.
