Transgenic Organisms
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -There are three different types of artificial cloning: gene cloning, reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning. Gene cloning produces copies of genes or segments of DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
