    Cloning is a technique by which genetically same individuals can be produced without including any sexual reproduction eg. Dolly sheep. The term clone is derived from źėłķ, the Greek word for “twig”, refering to the process, whereby a new plant can be created from a twig.

    Morphallaxis is a mechanism of regeneration involving reorganization of body cells. In epimorphosis new cells proliferate from the surface of the wound to form the missing structure. In accretionary growth some specialized cells retain the ability to divide and produce new cells to replace the worn-out.

    Apomixis (asexual seed formation) is the result of a plant gaining the ability to bypass the most fundamental aspects of sexual reproduction: meiosis and fertilization. Without the need for male fertilization, the resulting seed germinates a plant that develops as a maternal clone.
