A genetically identical copy of a piece of DNA, or an entire organism.
A genetically identical copy of a piece of DNA, or an entire organism. Asexual reproduction naturally creates clones of parent organisms. But cloning of many organisms can also be performed artificially. Cloned populations, such as crops produced from cuttings, tend to be more vulnerable to disease due to their reduced genetic diversity.
