Are a million new plants developed from the first extracted meristem all still an original clone? That process has a lot of opportunity for mutations,too.

I was thinking that "original" clones are all clones made from a seed grown plant. So there can be thousands of original clones. Then there are the generation of clones made from the meristem of a clone and so forth.
But i agree, there is room for mutation every step of the way.
