The technique of producing a genetically identical duplicate of an organism. A clone is said to be all descendants derived asexually from a single individual. It involves the process of taking the nucleus of a somatic cell and injecting it into enucleated egg. The egg is then implanted into the uterus to grow. Also see SCNT (somatic cell nuclear transfer).
