Sexual reproduction requires DNA from two members of the same species to create new life. One male and one female. Cloning only requires DNA from only one source to create new life. Asexual reproduction (in nature) also produces new life with DNA from only one source.

Why is cloning a form of asexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction requires the mixture of DNAs from two different sources(i.e. you got a set of chromosomes from you mother and one from your father). Asexual reproduction involves a copying of just one source of DNA. In cloning, you take DNA from just one source and so it is asexual.
Do you think the cloning of humans should be legal?
Cloning of animals is legal, but cloning of humans is considered to be a taboo and is not legal.
Is cloning taboo?
Cloning is considered a taboo in the sense that no human should have the power to do what "god" does. Cloning happens naturally in nature when identical twins are born, but that is the only situation where it is present.
Describe either parthenogenesis or cloning and compare the genomes of the offspring with those of the parents?
A.) Parthenogenesis is an asexual form of asexual reproduction found in females where growth and development of embryos or seeds occurs without fertilization by a male. The genome will be the same as the parent because the egg is not fertilized so it has all the same chromosomes as the parent.
What is the purpose of cloning plants?
Tissue culture cloning is the process of taking small parts of specimen plants and creating unlimited numbers of exact genetic copies asexually in a sterile lab setting. This process has been adapted to create genetically altered commercial food and medicinal crops.
What is orchid cloning?
Cloning is a type of asexual reproduction.
Is asexual reproduction same as cloning?
No. Cloning is how you make a sexual system behave asexually - it is quiet complicated. Asexual reproduction is budding.
Why is asexual reproduction cloning?
cloning is asexual reproduction because asexual reproduction is to have an organism be produced by only one organism. So the item you clone is producing another organism.
Is cloning a type of sexual reproduction?
False. It is asexual
Can only female have an asexual baby?
yes only females can have a asexual baby in adult cell cloning
Is cloning sexual or asexual reproduction?
it is asexual because it only acquires 1 organism and the offspring is exactly like the parent that was cloned
Why cloning is asexual?
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.
The creation of offspring carrying genetic information from just a single parent is called?
Asexual reproduction.
What reproduction by one parent is called asexual reproduction?
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION NEEDS ONLY ONE PARENT.
Is cloning an evil?
Cloning is a Biological way of making an exact clone of the original subject. Cloning happens all the time in the plant world and also happens in the animal to a lesser extent, as it is the quickest way of reproduction (asexual). Cloning cannot be considered evil if it happens all the time, though in saying that depending on what faith you are most have a different take on this subject. Bottom line, Cloning happens, as does the limitations of faith.

What is when one parent produces offspring that is an exact copy of the parent is called?
Cloning or asexual reproduction.
