Cloning

Cloning is the process of creating genetically identical copies of biological entities, including genes, cells, or whole organisms. Natural cloning occurs in asexual reproduction, while artificial cloning is achieved through techniques such as somatic cell nuclear transfer. Cloning has significant applications in medicine, agriculture, and research, enabling the production of genetically uniform individuals, disease models, and preservation of endangered species. Ethical and legal controversies surround its use, particularly regarding human cloning. Notable examples include the cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1996, which demonstrated the feasibility of cloning mammals.
