Cloning - Wikipedia
Cloning is the process of producing individual organisms with identical genomes, either by natural or artificial means. In nature, some organisms produce clones through asexual reproduction; this reproduction of an organism by itself without a mate is known as parthenogenesis.
Cloning | Definition, Process, & Types | Britannica
Cloning, the process of generating a genetically identical copy of a cell or an organism. Cloning happens often in nature, as when a cell replicates itself asexually without genetic alteration or recombination.
Cloning Fact Sheet - National Human Genome Research Institute
The term cloning describes a number of different processes that can be used to produce genetically identical copies of a biological entity. The copied material, which has the same genetic makeup as the original, is referred to as a clone.
What is Cloning - University of Utah
What is Cloning. Clones are organisms that are exact genetic copies. Every single bit of their DNA is identical. Clones can happen naturally—identical twins are just one of many examples. Or they can be made in the lab.
How does cloning work? - Live Science
The most basic definition of cloning is the creation of an exact genetic copy of an organism, tissue, cell or gene, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. The how and why of...
Cloning - National Human Genome Research Institute
Cloning, as it relates to genetics and genomics, involves using scientific methods to make identical, or virtually identical, copies of an organism, cell or DNA sequence. The phrase “molecular cloning” typically refers to isolating and copying a particular DNA segment of interest for further study.

Cloning is a method that is used to produce genetically identical copies of pieces of DNA, cells or organisms. Cloning methods include: molecular cloning, which makes copies of pieces of DNA;...
Cloning - National Geographic Society
Cloning is a technique scientists use to make exact genetic copies of living things. Genes, cells, tissues, and even whole animals can all be cloned. Some clones already exist in nature. Single-celled organisms like bacteria make exact copies of themselves each time they reproduce. In humans, identical twins are similar to clones.

A cartoon diagram of the molecular cloning procedure, showing the four main steps. Step 1 – Linearize the receiving vector and the insert by digesting both with the same restriction enzymes. Step 2 – fuse the vector and insert ends with DNA ligase. Step 3 – transform the ligation products into an E. coli host.
