Detailed explanation-1: -Cloning is a natural mode of asexual reproduction for many organisms, which results in nearly identical copies of cells or organisms. In animals, including humans, identical twins are an example of natural cloning.
Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of cloning that occur naturally are as follows: vegetative reproduction in plants, e.g. water hyacinth producing multiple copies of genetically identical plants through apomixis. binary fission in bacteria. parthenogenesis in certain animals.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fraternal twins(dizygotic twins) are not identical copies and hence it is not an example of cloning.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
