Answer:

Cloning is the process of producing genetically identical organisms either naturally or artificial means. It refers to the process of creating clones or identical copies of a cell, or DNA fragment taken from one organisms with an intention to make numerous organisms. The organisms like plants or animals produced after this process are genetically modified, and exhibit features suitable for the use of human society.
