Clone Notes:

Clones are those organisms that have exactly the same genetic makeup, i.e., their DNA is completely identical. A common example is twins. Clones can either be made in the lab or they can occur naturally. The first, successful clone was made in 1885, and that of a sea urchin. It survived for a century.
