Correct
d) Exo-planet
TRAPPIST-1 b is a hot rocky exoplanet orbiting an ultracool red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1. It is the innermost of seven known planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system. It has 1.4 times the mass and 1.1 times the radius of Earth. It orbits its star at a distance of 0.011 astronomical unit (AU), completing one circuit in just 1.51 Earth days. It receives about four times the amount of energy that Earth gets from the Sun.

Cloning describes a number of different processes that can be used to produce genetically identical copies of a biological entity. Cloning can be natural or artificial. Examples of cloning that occur naturally are as follows: Vegetative reproduction in plants, e.g. water hyacinth producing multiple copies of genetically identical plants through apomixis Binary fission in bacteria. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
Organism cloning, or reproductive cloning, where a multicellular clone is created generally through somatic cell nuclear transfer. This technique involves the transfer of a somatic cell nucleus into an enucleated egg. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.
