Cloning is the process of creating a genetically identical copy of a biological entity. This copied material, which shares the same genetic makeup as the original, is known as a clone. While the concept might seem like science fiction to some, cloning occurs naturally in many organisms, such as bacteria, plants, and even identical twins in humans and other mammals. In the realm of biotechnology, cloning encompasses a range of techniques used to duplicate various biological materials, from individual genes and cells to entire organisms.
