Solution
A clone is a group of
morphologically and genetically identical individuals.
In the process of
asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved and there is no
fusion of the male and the female gamete. As a result, the offsprings
so produced are morphologically and genetically similar to their
parents and are thus, called clones.
