Cloning | Definition, Process, & Types | Britannica
Cloning is 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 - 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 Fact Sheet - National Human Genome Research Institute
Cloning describes a number of different processes that can be used to produce genetically identical copies of a biological entity.

Cloning - National Geographic Society
Cloning is a technique scientists use to create exact genetic replicas of genes, cells, or animals.

What is Cloning - University of Utah
Cloning a gene usually involves copying the DNA sequence of that gene into a smaller, more easily manipulated piece of DNA, such as a plasmid. This process makes it easier to study the function of the individual gene in the laboratory.

18.5: Cloning - Biology LibreTexts
In general, cloning means the creation of a perfect replica. Typically, the word is used to describe the creation of a genetically identical copy. In biology, the re-creation of a whole organism is referred to as “reproductive cloning.”
