a member of a population of genetically identical cells produced from a single cell.
In 1997, Ian
Wilmut
cloned a sheep called Dolly.

Slide7Researchers hope cloning will enable them to make copies of transgenic animals and help save endangered species.
Studies suggest that cloned animals may suffer from a number of
