Humans take care of their offspring generally till they are 18. But in some cultures it's as soon as they can marry them off, or they never stop fully taking care of the offspring till the parent themselves die.
That's false. The parent continues on with a small part of itself pinched off and developing independently as the "offspring". The "parent" amoeba can reproduce repeatedly just like most organisms.
Morphology has been traditionally used in classification because physical characteristics are easily observable and measurable. It provides a tangible basis for categorizing organisms, allowing for straightforward comparisons and classification. However, with advancements in genetics and molecular biology, other classification methods are increasingly being used alongside morphology for a more comprehensive understanding of evolutionary relationships.
A clone is genetically identical to the parent. Offspring are 'children' that contain a mix of the father and the mothers DNA and so will be genetically different to both of their parents. Offspring from an asexually reproducing organism (i.e bacteria or rotifers) are sometimes referred to as clones as they contain identical DNA to the parent.
