What is a clone ?

Question:

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

Solution:

Clone is an exact genetic replica of another individual. All the offspring formed from a parent through asexual reproduction are clones of one another

as well as their parent. The remarkable similarity of asexually produced daughter individuals is due to genetic similarity as they possess exact copies

of DNA of their parent.
