A cell or individual and its entire asexually produced offspring is called what?
Correct answer: A. Clone
- A. Clone
- B. Mutant
- C. Eugenic organisms
- D. Transgenic organisms
Explanation
The correct answer is "Clone." A clone refers to a cell or organism, along with its entire asexually produced offspring, that is genetically identical to the original. This occurs because asexual reproduction does not involve the combination of genetic material from two distinct cells or organisms, which is the case in sexual reproduction.The other options are incorrect: "Mutant" refers to an organism that has undergone a genetic mutation; "Eugenic organisms" are related to selective breeding practices; and "Transgenic organisms" are genetically modified to include genes from another species.
