Questions  

The term 'clone' cannot be applied to offspring formed by sexual reproduction because

a
offspring do not possess exact copies of parental DNA.
b
DNA of only one parent is copied and passed on to the offspring.
c
offspring are formed at different times.
d
DNA of parent and offspring are completely different.

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The term clone is not applicable to the offspring produced by sexual reproduction because it involves formation of the male and female gametes, either by the same individual or by different individuals of the opposite sex. Because of the fusion of male and female gametes, sexual reproduction results in offspring that are not identical to the parents or amongst themselves.
