A clone is a group of genetically identical individuals developed as a result of sexual reproduction.

True or False

Solution

This statement is false.

Explanation:

A clone is a group of genetically identical individuals developed through asexual reproduction, not sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction creates genetic variation, so offspring are not genetically identical. Clones arise when offspring are produced without the fusion of gametes, maintaining identical genetic makeup to the parent organism.
