Solution
The term "Clone" is used to describe the offspring that are "Genetically identical only."
Cloning refers to the process of creating genetically identical copies of an organism, either naturally or artificially. In the context of cloning, the term "clone" is used to describe individuals that possess identical genetic material to the original organism from which they were derived. Clones may exhibit some morphological similarities to the original organism, but they can also display variations in their phenotype due to environmental factors or epigenetic modifications. However, genetically, clones are identical because they have the same DNA sequence.
