1) human hermaphrodites can't get pregnant nor get someone pregnant...they don't have complete sets of either male or female parts.
2)even if he/she could...the child is not necessarily a clone, because the genes can mix prior to the completion of meiosis or combine in different ways. thus, let's say that for one trait...it's determined by gene pair of A-B in the hermaphrodite...it's possible for A-A or B-B combinations.
another possible event is:
in the hermaphrodite, if u have trait 1 determined by A-B, trait 2 determined by C-D, and trait 3 determined by E-F all on the same chromosome. (i.e. trait 1 is next to trait 2, which is next to trait 3) so on one side of the DNA, the sequence is A, C, E and on the other side the sequence is B, D, F. genes in a chromosome might mix prior to meiosis, so after meiosis you could get 2 eggs/sperm with the sequence A, D, E and 2 with B, C, F for example.

Agreed !!! do not they merely clone on and on and on and on. It receives extremely tedious truly. I gave that suggestion to Cheryl B this morning as she changed into threatening to clone George the pink hippo. Get you personal personalities!

No, based on the definition of clone:
noun: a group of genetically identical cells or organisms derived from a single cell or individual by some kind of asexual reproduction

There are no true human hermaphrodites. One of the sexual organs is non-functional. Also, cloning is not the same thing. An interesting, if strange, question.

No, there is no way posible for the hemarphodite to have sex with it self. usuually only one of the genitals work.

Does a hermaphrodite have egg and sperm cells? If not, no baby!
