Comparison between clone and offspring
Clone and offspring:
Major differences
Clone | Offspring |
1. It is the product of asexual reproduction | It is the product of sexual reproduction |
2. It is monoparental (derived from a single parent) | It is biparental (derived from two parents) |
3. It is formed by mitosis. Meiosis does not occur | Meiosis occurs prior to formation of gametes |
4. It exactly resembles the parent | It shows variations from parents |
5. There is no recombination of genes | Due to chance segregation and chance combination of genes, offspring exhibits genetic variations. |
