### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Clones**: A clone is defined as a group of genetically similar cells or organisms that are produced from the same parent. This means that all the cells or organisms in a clone share identical genetic material. 2. **Types of Reproduction**: There are two main types of reproduction: asexual and sexual. Asexual reproduction involves a single parent and does not require the fusion of gametes, while sexual reproduction involves two parents and the fusion of gametes. 3. **Asexual Reproduction**: In asexual reproduction, the offspring are produced through processes like mitosis, where the parent cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells. This method ensures that the genetic material remains unchanged, resulting in clones. ...
