Clones are genetically identical organisms or cells that are produced asexually, meaning they arise from a single ancestor without the mixing of genetic material. This process can occur naturally, as seen in some plants and single-celled organisms, or artificially through techniques such as cloning. Cloning plays a significant role in various reproduction methods, enabling the propagation of specific traits and characteristics across generations.
