Clone

A clone is an exact genetic copy of an organism. This process can happen naturally, as with identical twins, or artificially, through scientific methods. In labs, cloning involves techniques like somatic cell nuclear transfer, where the nucleus of a donor cell is inserted into an egg cell. Cloning is used in various fields, including medicine for research and potential therapies, as well as agriculture for breeding plants with desirable traits. However, it raises ethical questions, particularly regarding animal welfare and genetic diversity. Overall, cloning explores the complexity of genetics and our understanding of life.
