Detailed explanation-1: -Clones contain identical sets of genetic material in the nucleus-the compartment that contains the chromosomes-of every cell in their bodies. Thus, cells from two clones have the same DNA and the same genes in their nuclei.

Detailed explanation-2: -More narrowly, a clone can be defined as an individual organism that was grown from a single body cell of its parent and that is genetically identical to it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Identical twins have the same DNA as each other, but different from their parents. A clone, however, only has one parent and has exactly the same DNA as that parent.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cloning is a technique scientists use to make exact genetic copies of living things. Genes, cells, tissues, and even whole animals can all be cloned. Some clones already exist in nature. Single-celled organisms like bacteria make exact copies of themselves each time they reproduce.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your clone would have the same biological parents that you have. If you raise you clone as your own child, then you are technically an adoptive parent. In animals in which cloning is a natural form of reproduction, not humans, then the animal the offspring is a clone of is the biological parent.
