Solution :-

Clone is a word denoted to a group of genetically identical organisms. As we all know, that only a single parent is involved in asexual reproduction, the offspring which is produced is genetically identical to the parent cell. As we all know that they are exact copies of their parents, the offspring is said to be a clone. This type of reproduction can be seen in many prokaryotic organisms and even in a few eukaryotic single-celled and multi-celled organisms.
