Cloning

What exactly is Cloning? How did it begin?

Cloning is the process of making the same exact copy of something else. Humans and even nature clones. Some things that are cloned are plants, bacteria and more.Twins are clones also because they have the same genetic copy of each other. There are different types of  cloning: reproductive cloning, DNA cloning, and therapuetic cloning. Cloning started with Hans Derich in the late 1800s when he created the first cloned sea urchin embryos unintentionally. Soon other scientists began looking for ways of cloning. New advances began in the 1900s.
