Question

Asexually produced organism, that inherits all the characters of the parent is

• A. Offspring
• B. Clone
• C. Variety
• D. Hybrid

Answer 1

The correct option is B Clone

Asexually produced organism inheriting all the characters of the parent is considered a clone. The parent cell develops without fertilization so the embryo has the genetic content of a single parent. The process starts with the duplication of the genetic contents of a parent cell by the process of replication. After the duplication, the duplicated genetic material divides by the process of mitosis which leads to the production of daughter cells with the same number of the chromosome carrying similar characters. After division, the genetic material separates in two halves by karyokinesis and finally, the cytoplasm divides by cytokinesis.

So, the correct answer is option B.
