Answer:

a disease that targets any organism in the population with similar traits

Step-by-step explanation:

because they reproduce asexually, there is no genetic variation and because of that, they all have similar traits and if those traits were to be targeted, the whole population would be susceptible to the disease, making it harder to survive that
