- While sexual reproduction is conserved and almost ubiquitous, asexual reproduction in forms of parthenogenesis or agametic cloning from somatic tissue is less conserved. The phylogeny shows that agametic cloning is widespread but scattered with many different modes for asexual formation of a new animal. This suggests that independent forms of cloning have evolved later from sexual ancestors between and within different phyla. Here, we present an overview of agametic cloning in the marine animal kingdom and discuss molecular and evolutionary aspects of somatic stem cell usage for asexual cloning. The molecular tissue characterizations and the relative role of different stem cells involved in agametic cloning are only at its beginning with whole phyla largely uncovered. An emerging hypothesis is that the first somatic stem cells used in cloning were also able to form a germ-line and that the more limited lineage specific stem cells are derived. We discuss advantages and problems with agametic cloning from somatic tissue and propose that the levels of stem cell potential held in the tissue can have large consequences for the reproductive life cycle strategies and long-term fitness in clonal animals and strains. We finally describe suitable molecular experimental approaches for future research on this topic.
