Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The progeny of a single plant obtained by asexual reproduction is cloned.
Cloning is a technique scientists use to make exact genetic copies of living things.
To make a clone, scientists transfer the DNA from an animal's somatic cell into an egg cell that has had its nucleus and DNA removed.
The egg develops into an embryo that contains the same genes as the cell donor. Then the embryo is implanted into an adult female's uterus to grow.
