The correct answer is: morphologically as well as genetically alike
Reproduction is the process of producing fertile offspring which look similar to parents. The individual organisms which are the same morphologically and genetically are called clones. They are formed in the asexual reproduction process. Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction where offspring is produced by a single parent without the requirement of gamete formation and fertilization. The offspring formed are exactly same as parents because they inherit all the chromosomes of their parent in the same pattern without any mixing.
