Cloning can also be understood as replication, duplication and doubling (Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan free translation), that is, the same replica is produced from the prototype, which has the same appearance and genetic genes as the prototype, but most of them have different behaviors and ideas.
Today, the meaning of "cloning" is not only "asexual reproduction", but also refers to a group of individuals from the same ancestor who reproduce asexually. This group of asexual offspring from the same ancestor is also called "asexual cloning", which is called cloning for short.

Clone classification
1, human body art cloning
Human body art cloning is completely different from medical cloning, only the concept of "reproduction" of the word cloning is borrowed here. This not only makes people sound novel and easy to remember, but more importantly, only the word "cloning" can accurately and truly highlight the fine features of this technology.
2. Animals and plants
Many plants have a natural ability to clone. For example, cut a few branches from a big willow tree and insert them in the soil, and the branches will grow into lively and lovely little willows; Cut potatoes into many small pieces and plant them in the ground, and you can harvest many fresh potatoes.
Cut the cactus into several pieces, and each piece will soon take root and sprout and grow into a new immortal. In addition, some plants can cultivate their offspring by layering or grafting. All these are clones of plants.
