A clone is a duplicate – much like a photocopy is a duplicate, or copy, of a document (Kolate, 238). A good example of copies that occur in nature are identical twins, which are duplicates of each other.

A clone is really just a time-delayed identical twin of another animal or person. Cloning is accomplished by getting two cells to fuse to become one. The egg gains a full set of genes from the adult and thinks it has been fertilized. Then it begins to divide and become identical twin or clone of … Read more
