Detailed explanation-1: -Cloning describes the processes used to create an exact genetic replica of another cell, tissue or organism. The copied material, which has the same genetic makeup as the original, is referred to as a clone.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cloning is a technique scientists use to create exact genetic replicas of genes, cells, or animals.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA that has been ‘cut’ and ‘pasted’ from an organism into a vector is called recombinant DNA. Because of this, DNA cloning is also called recombinant DNA technology.
Detailed explanation-4: -The traditional technique for gene cloning involves the transfer of a DNA fragment of interest from one organism to a self-replicating genetic element, such as a bacterial plasmid. This technique is commonly used today for isolating long or unstudied genes and protein expression.
Detailed explanation-5: -Reproductive cloning is defined as the deliberate production of genetically identical individuals. Each newly produced individual is a clone of the original. Monozygotic (identical) twins are natural clones.
