An intoduction to the technique of cloning...

Cloning is the technique by which a particular organism's genetic copy is replicated i.e. it is duplicated to create an identical organism.

Now, cloning can be of three types basically:-

1. genetic cloning where the genes are cloned.

2.therapeutic cloning i.e. the cloning is used for theurapeutic purpose

3.reproductive cloning where a new individual is created with the help of this technique

What most of the people think of cloning when they first hear it is just the cloned sheep Dolly. Well hat is just a part of cloning experiments that are going on in this field... There is much more to it than just Dolly!!
