The term ‘clone’ cannot be applied to offspring formed by sexual reproduction because (a) offspring do not possess exact copies of parental DNA (b) DNA of only one parent is copied and passed on to the offspring (c) offspring are formed at different times (d) DNA of parent and offspring are completely different
Option A is ✅ Offspring do not possess exact copies of parental DNA'.In vegetative reproduction, the offspring are genetically identical new plants that formed from vegetative parts of parent plants. So, the term clone applies to the offspring formed by vegetative reproduction.
