Plants can form natural reproductive clones because they possess meristems, which are totipotent cells. Most animals have differentiated cells, limiting this capability.
Les plantes peuvent former des clones reproductifs naturels car elles possèdent des méristèmes, qui sont des cellules totipotentes. La plupart des animaux ont des cellules différenciées, ce qui limite cette capacité.
