Q. 28 B
What is a clone ?
Answer :
The organisms which are produced asexually are genetically identical to the parent and are called clones. The basic event in the reproduction is the creation of DNA copy. The replication of DNA occurs by certain biochemical reactions which synthesize more of genetic material. When the DNA already present in the nucleus of the parent cell is replicated by making more DNA at the time of asexual reproduction then slight variations come in the two copies formed. Due to this the two DNA molecules formed will be similar but not identical.
