ADVERTISEMENTS:
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between clone and offspring.
Clone:
1. It is mono-parental, borne from a single parent.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
2. It is produced asexually.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
3. It does not involve gametes.
4. They are the product of mitosis.
5. Recombination of genes does not take place during the formation of clone.
6. Ramet or individual of a clone does not differ in its genetic constitution from its parent. It is a carbon copy of the parent.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
7. Members of a clone have the same genotype.
Offspring:
1. An offspring is borne to two parents.
2. It is produced sexually.
3. It involves the formation and fusion of male and female gametes.
4. Gametes are produced through the process of meiosis.
5. Segregation and recombination of genes take place during production of an offspring.
6. It differs in its genetic constitution from either of its parents. It is not a carbon copy.
7. Offspring’s of the same parents differ in their genotype.
