Ramets may have all of the functions needed to survive on their own or be interdependent on other ramets . For example, some sea anemones go through the process of pedal laceration in which a genetically identical individual is asexually produced from tissue broken off from the anemone's pedal disc . In plants, clonal colonies are created through the propagation of genetically identical trees by stolons or rhizomes . </P>
