True or False: A population made up entirely of genetically identical clones is generally better equipped to survive a sudden environmental change than a genetically variable population.

Many single-celled and multicellular organisms produce asexually reproductive cells known as 1($) that float in the air or water and eventually produce genetic replicas of the parent.
