Meiosis is bypassed because neither of these processes involves a union of gametes.
Parthenogenesis is the development of an unfertilized egg, therefore the new organism's body cells would be monoploid
(haploid) and have the same genetic makeup as the mother's egg.
A clone is developed from an egg that contains a nucleus transferred from a body (somatic) cell. A clone's body cells
contains the diploid number of chromosomes and is identical to the donor of the transplanted nucleus.

In parthenogenesis, one parent produces offspring on its own without fertilization. The offspring have the same chromsomes as the parent - same genome.

Cloning can be done by various methods, but the resulting genome is exactly like the parental genome.

Mitosis is involved, not meiosis.
