Definition of Clones
Genetically identical organisms or cells
1 of 16
State one advantage of Natural cloning
Increases population quickly to take advantage of the suitable environmental conditions
2 of 16
Definition of Vegetation propagation
Reproduction form vegetative parts of a plant- usually an over-wintering organ
3 of 16
State one advantage of Natural cloning
If the conditions for growth are good for the parent, they will also be good for the offspring
4 of 16
State one advantage of Natural Cloning
Reproduction can be carried out even if there is only one parent

State one disadvantage Natural Cloning
Population shows little variations
11 of 16
Name of horizontal stems that grow underground
