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: -In the case of a cell, a clone refers to any genetically identical cell in a population that comes from a single, common ancestor.
Detailed explanation-3: -In biology, the term “clone” is most widely used to designate genetically identical cells or organisms that are asexually descended from a common progenitor.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cloning is the process of producing individual organisms with identical or virtually identical DNA, either by natural or artificial means.
