The term also covers when organisms such as bacteria, insects or plants reproduce asexually.

Answer 2

The ultimate purpose would be if someone needs an organ transplant, we could clone that organ so that there would be virtually no chance of rejection since it would be their own genetic makeup.  

Answer 3

Cloning is copying a biological creature and creating an exact copy.

It has no purpose as of yet unless your referring to the gardening kind, which would simply to be create a second plant of the same kind.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Cloning is copy seft unconsciously process for result is creat something very similar original creations.

Answer 6

cloning is a process of replacing gene of organism with another of its kind. the end result is offspring that exactly has the same genetic info as its donor.

Its has many scientific and clinical benefit.

for example, if an organism can not reproduce, its gene can be inserted into another to ensure its survival.

the process is very successful in microorganism , but limited in complex organism such sheep and cows.

Answer 7

cloning is different from clowning around like I do sometimes. it's a xerox copy of your cells or DNA not DUI to make them came out just like you but it's not you it's your duplica.

Answer 8

Cloning is reproducing the EXACT same product by using Stem Cells. Stem Cells are the cells at the VERY beggining of cell production. So when you use the stem cell of one thing lets say a Rat.. you can produce another Rat that as the Exact cells as the first rat.

Thats why people think this should be illegal... they feel like you are essentialy "playing God"

I think it Great! A lot of cures for a number of diseases are being made just by using stem cell research..

i could be totally wrong LOL.. but i think it sounds good ;)
