Organisms with the ability to produce genetic clones are referred to as clonal species. These organisms can reproduce asexually, allowing them to generate genetically identical copies of themselves without the need for sexual reproduction. Clonal reproduction is common in certain plants, fungi, and some animals, enabling them to spread rapidly in favorable environments. This ability allows for rapid population growth and can contribute to the dominance of clonal species in specific ecosystems. While beneficial for survival and colonization, clonal reproduction can also pose challenges to biodiversity, particularly when clonal species invade new habitats.
