The term ‘clone’ cannot be applied to offspring formed by sexual reproduction because:

1. Offspring do not possess exact copies of parental DNA
2. DNA of only one parent is copied and passed on to the offspring
3. Offspring are formed at different times
4. DNA of the parent and offspring are completely different.

The diagram shows budding in yeast. What will be true for the process?
 
I: The nucleus does not divide at all and the bud does not have genetic material.
II: The division is unequal and small buds are produced that remain attached initially to the parent cell which, eventually get separated and mature into new yeast organisms. 
 
1. Only I 2. Only II
3. Both I and II 4. Neither I nor II
