Answer and explanation

1. Cloning differs from budding as it generates a genetically identical COPY of a cell or organism while budding produces a genetically identical offspring.
2. Firstly it can take place quickly, allowing the pioneer species to establish themselves in their new habitat, out competing slowly -reproducing species.
Secondly since all the offspring are genetically alike, it ensures that if the parents are successful in their habitat, the offspring will also be successful, provided environmental conditions do not change .

The area between dermis and epidermis is small and get oxygen from nearby capillary vessel bed, not a major blood vessel. You can find the major blood vessel in the dermis area. This vessel will supply enough blood to the skin, glands, and receptors inside the dermis.
