Best Answer

Cloning is asexual because in order to clone, no mate is necessary. There is only one parent and the offspring is identical. Although, one could argue that cloning itself is whole different type of reproduction because the parent is not splitting in half and the offspring could be born from an organism with no relation to the parent or offspring.
