Cloning refers to the duplication of genetic material from another living organism, as a plant or animal. This can occur in nature, as happens with the reproduction of bacteria and algae, or plants such as strawberries. In recent years it has also become possible to manufacture clones through scientific intervention. This engineered cloning has sparked great debate. |
