Clones

Clones are organisms or cells that are genetically identical to a parent organism. This can occur naturally, such as identical twins, or through scientific methods, like genetic engineering or cloning techniques. Cloning is often associated with plants, animals, and even certain types of bacteria. In agriculture, cloning can help produce plants with desirable traits. In animals, techniques like somatic cell nuclear transfer have been used to create clones, like the famous sheep, Dolly. While cloning has potential benefits, it also raises ethical and ecological concerns regarding biodiversity and the welfare of cloned organisms.
