Detailed explanation-1: -Monozygotic (identical) twins are natural clones. 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: -Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), also called nuclear transfer, uses a different approach than artificial embryo twinning, but it produces the same result: an exact genetic copy, or clone, of an individual. This was the method used to create Dolly the Sheep.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cloning is the process of generating a genetically identical copy of a cell or an organism. Cloning happens all the time in nature. In biomedical research, cloning is broadly defined to mean the duplication of any kind of biological material for scientific study, such as a piece of DNA or an individual cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -clone, also spelled clon, cell or organism that is genetically identical to the original cell or organism from which it is derived.

Detailed explanation-5: -A clone is a genetically identical copy of an organism, and it may be naturally occurring or created in the lab. Through the process of asexual reproduction, organisms such as bacteria (and some plants) create offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
