Question

Why offspring formed by asexual reproduction reffered to as clone?

Answer 1

Answer:

The offspring from asexual reproduction is referred to as a clone because the offspring has almost no variations and exact same genes. It is an exact copy of the parent organism.

Answer 2

Answer:

A clone is a group of morphological and genetically identical individuals. In the process of asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved and there is no fusion of the male and female gamete. As a result, the offsprings so produced are morphologically and genetically similar to their parents and are thus, called clones.
