This one is worded a bit weird. In Biology a colony is several individuals (within the same species) living within close association. In microbiology, though, this statement is correct; (In microbiology) a colony is a mass of microorganisms all descending from a single mother cell, all the bacteria within a colony are genetic clones of the mother cell.
