cloning

Question 1

what is asexual reproduction

Answer 1

an offspring identical to its parent (only one parent)

Question 2

what are the three types of natural cloning

Answer 2

budding, layering, propagation by cutting

Question 3

what is budding

Answer 3

new individual develops from a protrusion that eventually detaches itself from the parent

Question 4

what is layering

Answer 4

roots develop from a branch in contact with the ground. it detached itself and becomes a new individual

Answer 9

cloning technique to obtain a new individual genetically identical to the one being cloned

Question 10
