Cloning

Cloning is the process of creating a genetically identical copy of an organism, cell, or DNA fragment. It can occur naturally, as in the case of identical twins, or be induced artificially through various techniques, such as somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) and reproductive cloning. Cloning has applications in medicine, agriculture, and conservation, allowing for the replication of desirable traits or the preservation of endangered species. However, it raises ethical concerns regarding biodiversity, animal welfare, and the implications of human cloning.
