Modular Growth • growth by vegetative budding of new individuals genetically identical to the original individual. • Modular growth leads to two different sorts of individuals: Genet and Ramet • In animals, genetically identical individuals are often called Clones. • In such cases, the total weight of the species (its Biomass) is assessed.
