Cloning Is a type of asexual reproduction performed in a laboratory that produces identical individuals from a cell of from a cluster of cells taken from multicellular organism Plant Cloning Animal Cloning

Advantages of Asexual Reproduction Reproduce without a mate Rapidly produce a large number of offsprings

Disadvantages of Asexual Reproduction Little genetic variation Harmful mutations will be passed to asexually reproduced offspring
