Question

Scientists are able to reproduce certain plants and animals by cloning them in laboratories. The diagram shows the steps of cloning using tissue cultures. Do you think cloning is a form of asexual reproduction? Explain your answer using evidence from the diagram

Answer 1

Yes, cloning is a form of asexual reproduction. The diagram shows that new plants form from a single parent plant, which means that the offspring are genetically identical to the parent.

Answer 2

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, cloning is a form of asexual reproduction because there is no fusion of sperm and eggs takes place. the animal which is formed from this process is identical of that organism because it is produced from the tissue of that single animal. in 1996, first mammal is produced from cloning was sheep named dolly at the Roslin Institute in Scotland. In cloning, the egg is taken from female organism and remove the nucleus from the egg then the desired organism cell is taken and fuse with the nucleus with the help of electricity. Then implant this embryo in the body of first organism from where egg is taken and after that the embryo turns into a baby, this process is called cloning.
