Detailed explanation-1: -If I Clone My Pet, How Similar Will The Clone Be To My Original Pet? The clone and your original animal will be genetically identical, they will share the exact same DNA, and will therefore be a full genetic twin to your original pet.
Detailed explanation-2: -Myth: Clones are always identical in looks. They have the same genes, but look a little different. That’s because of the way those genes are expressed-that is, how the information in that gene is seen in the actual animal.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dolly the Sheep was announced to the word with a paper published in 1997, in the journal Nature, succinctly titled “Viable offspring derived from fetal and adult mammalian cells”.
Detailed explanation-4: -No. While a cloned dog, cat, or horse has the exact same DNA as the donor parent, that doesn’t mean everything about a clone will be the same, including a different personality, behavior, and physical traits.
