Cloning technology is a scientific method used to create a genetically identical copy of an organism. This process can involve taking a cell from a living being, such as a sheep, and using it to create a new organism that shares the same DNA. The most famous example of cloning is Dolly the sheep, who was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell in 1996. Cloning can be used for various purposes, including research, agriculture, and medicine. For instance, scientists can clone plants to produce more crops or create animals with specific traits. However, cloning also raises ethical questions about the implications of creating life and the potential risks involved.
