Summary Introduction
Introduction: The process through which genetically identical organisms are produced is known as cloning. Genetically identical organisms can be produced either naturally or artificially. Asexual reproduction is the method through which clones are produced naturally. Cloning performed in a laboratory is a multistep process and cells are grown into an embryo under controlled conditions in a culture medium.
