The process through which an existing cell or organism is used to artificially produce a genetically identical copy is known as

This process is known as the Cloning. Cloning, involves generating a genetically identical copy of a cell or an organism. Naturally cloning happens always, for example when a cell replicates itself asexually without any genetic alteration or recombination. In biomedical research it involves the duplication of any kind of biological material for scientific study, such as a piece of DNA, or individual cell.
