plants originally derived or propagated from one plant by vegetative means. All are identical to the original plant
Helpful?           0
A group of genes, cells or organisms that are derived from a common ancestor. Genetic material is not combined and the members of the clone therefore all genetically identical to the parent.
Helpful?           0
plants which have been propagated from cuttings or by layering (i.e. vegetatively) have an identical genetic make-up to parent plant. They are called clones.
Helpful?           0

Helpful?           0

The process of making a copy of a virtual machine. This process includes the option to customize the guest operating system of the new virtual machine. When a clone is created VirtualCenter provides an option to customize the guest operating system of that virtual machine. Clones can be stored on any host within the same farm as the original virtual machine.
