What is a clone? Why do offspring formed by asexual reproduction exhibit remarkable similarity?
(N/A) clone is defined as an individual organism that is genetically and morphologically identical to its parent.
Offspring formed by asexual reproduction exhibit remarkable similarity because they are produced from a single parent without the fusion of gametes.
Since asexual reproduction involves only mitotic cell division,the offspring receive exact copies of the parent's $DNA$,resulting in genetic uniformity.
