Solution

The correct option is A 1 only
Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct: It is a process of asexual reproduction in which the offspring or the progeny is an exact replica of the single parent who has contributed to the genetic material. Cloning is a process, where a cell is equipped with the genetic information of an organism, which has the ability to develop into a full organism.

Statement 2 is incorrect: Human cloning is performed by somatic cells (any cell in the body other than sperm and egg, the two types of reproductive cells) nuclear transfer into an enucleated egg (an egg cell whose nucleus has been removed).
