Cloning

Cloning means ''making an identical copy of. ''

A clone has the exact same DNA as its mother. In nature we see cloning done naturally, such as twins and strawberry plants.

Cloning humans is illegal in many countries, with the reasons that illness and early death are prominent in cloned animals. Additionally, there is no point in cloning humans because the clone will never be completely similar to its mother because of environmental factors.

We have two main types of cloning, reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning.
