Almost like clones in their similarity to one another, (the cheetah species’ homogeneity makes them especially vulnerable to disease).
A the cheetah species’ homogeneity makes them especially vulnerable to disease
B the cheetah species is especially vulnerable to disease because of its homogeneity
C the homogeneity of the cheetah species makes it especially vulnerable to disease
D homogeneity makes members of the cheetah species especially vulnerable to disease
E members of the cheetah species are especially vulnerable to disease because of their homogeneity
答案是E
请问clone（无性繁殖）和members of the cheetah species（印度豹）为什么可以对等？
谢谢！

clone有“靠营养生殖而由母体分离繁殖的植物”的意思。
Dictionary上查的结果：
–noun
1.        Biology.
a.        a cell, cell product, or organism that is genetically identical to the unit or individual from which it was derived.
b.        a population of identical units, cells, or individuals that derive from the same ancestral line.
2.        a person or thing that duplicates, imitates, or closely resembles another in appearance, function, performance, or style: All the fashion models seemed to be clones of one another.

原来如此!谢谢!你好强啊!

lz能不能把问题都发到一个帖子里面啊

不会啊,抱歉

看到2楼的于是蹦出来说一句“google是好物”（字典都是好物啦！XD）
不过即使不详查，前半句里面的"their"也能充分说明此处的“clones”是名词不是动词。

不会啊,抱歉

楼Z你好牛X……

Cheetah 是猎豹，是非洲的，不是印度的。印度可能以前有，现在多半绝种了。

Clone 在这里的意义是：a population of identical units, cells, or individuals that derive from the same ancestral line，意思就是说不同的猎豹的基因是差不多一模一样的。

这题答案是 E 是因为前面词组是 Almost like clones . . . ，所以逗点后必须是个体而不能是 species 或是 homogeneity。
