Most of the time the members of a clone are genetically identical, however sometimes mutations may occur when replicating the DNA. Clones don't always have to be artificially produced, an example of naturally occurring clones are identical twins, they have been produced from the division of a fertilised egg. Also prokaryotic cells reproduce asexually as well as other simple organisms such as algae and some yeasts and some larger, more complex organisms such as dandelions and aspen trees.
