""A clone is one or more identical organisms descending asexually from a single common ancestor" (Encarta 99). It is a copy
or close reproduction of a DNA sequence or gene produced by genetic
engineering. Genetic engineering is the alteration of an organism's genetic code, to remove
characteristics of a creature that are not wanted and to replace them with desirable ones. Members of a clone are identical in their inherited characteristics except for differences caused by attitude. They have the identical genetic makeup of the parent organism. "
