Clonal reproduction
A precise definition of clonal reproduction has been historically used
in population genetics, corresponding to “an individual produces
new individuals that are genetically identical to the ancestor at all
loci in the genome, except at those sites that have experienced somatic
mutations ” (as defined in De Meeûs, Prugnolle, & Agnew, 2007, see
also Marshall & Weir, 1979). This definition implicitly includes
reproduction through agametic tissues and apomictic parthenogenesis.
