This document discusses reproduction in organisms through asexual and sexual means. It defines clones as offspring produced through asexual reproduction that are exact genetic copies of the parent. It then lists various vegetative propagules or plant structures used in asexual reproduction, such as runners, suckers, tubers, rhizomes, offsets, leaf buds, bulbils. It concludes with examples of previous exam questions testing understanding of asexual reproduction terms and structures.
