Question

Though in asexual reproduction clone formation takes place but evolution can take place in them how?

Solution

One way for an asexually reproducing species to get evolution is through mutations at the DNA level. If there is a mistake in mitosis or the copying of the DNA, then that mistake will be passed down to the offspring, thereby possibly changing its traits. Some mutations do not change the phenotype, however, so not all mutations in asexual reproduction result in variations in the offspring.​
