This paper defines cloning as the production of a group of genetically identical cells or organisms, all descended from a
single individual. The members of a clone have precisely the same characteristics, except where mutation and environmentally caused developmental variation have occurred. The first recorded cloning experiment took place in 1938, when a German scientist experimented by transferring a nucleus from an adult cell to an enucleated egg which resulted in the successful creation of an identical twin. This paper details the various types of artificial and natural cloning which include: Molecular cloning, cellular cloning, embryo twinning, natural regeneration, primary
reproductive mode and supplementary reproductive mode. The writer of this paper also discusses the moral and ethical
controversy surrounding genetic cloning.
