The process of creating an exact copy of the parent plant.
A
crossbreeding
B
cloning
C
genetic modification
D
gene splicing
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Step 1: Cut the right plant the right way. With cloning, what matters most is cutting from the right part of the plant. Step 2-Cut the leaves and stems at an angle. Step 3-Add the rooting hormone and re-plant. Step 4-Watch your clones grow! 17-Feb-2020

Detailed explanation-2: -Do clones ever occur naturally? Yes. In nature, some plants and single-celled organisms, such as bacteria, produce genetically identical offspring through a process called asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, a new individual is generated from a copy of a single cell from the parent organism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cutting, also known as striking or cloning, is a technique for vegetatively (asexually) propagating plants in which a piece of the stem or root of the source plant is placed in a suitable medium such as moist soil, potting mix, coir or rock wool.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
