Solution
A population of asexually reproduced, genetically identical individuals is a clone.
Explanation:
A clone is a group or population of individuals that are genetically identical and arise from a single parent by asexual reproduction. Since asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes, the offspring produced are exact genetic copies of the parent. Thus, all members of such a population are genetically identical, forming a clone.
