Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Clones are organisms that are exact genetic copies. Every single bit of their DNA is identical. Clones can happen naturally-identical twins are just one of many examples. Or they can be made in the lab.
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: -There are three different types of artificial cloning: gene cloning, reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning.
