clones

In Sexual and asexual reproduction, clones means the specific Unit 4.6 idea used to answer this objective: students must explain that asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring called clones and involves only mitosis. Keep the term curriculum-specific by applying this boundary: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. Do not use clones as a vague inheritance word; link it to Reproduction and explain the exact role it plays in AQA GCSE Biology.
