CLONING Cloning is the process by which we can create a copy of an organism that is exactly identical to it. The copy of the organism which is created is called its clone. This clone is genetically identical to the organism. In cloning a single cell of an organism is used to make a genetically identical clone by culturing it in a laboratory. One of the important aspects of cloning is genetic engineering where clones are genetically modified. There are two types of cloning: natural cloning and artificial cloning. A natural clone is created when an organism reproduces asexually e.g.: yeast. A natural clone can also be created accidentally when an animal has identical twins. This occurs when the zygote splits into two smaller cells and two embryos are formed instead of one. Artificial cloning is of many different types, (1) DNA cloning (2) reproductive cloning or the cloning of...
