Creation of exact copy of a single gene, cell or organism is called:

  • (A) Osmosis
  • (B) Reproduction
  • (C) Hybridization
  • (D) Cloning
  • Cloning involves making a copy of a biological entity with identical genes. There are three main categories, each based on what is being duplicated. First, gene cloning focuses on replicating particular genes or segments of DNA. Next, cell cloning deals with creating exact copies of a single cell. Finally, organism cloning results in the creation of an entire multicellular organism that shares the same genetic makeup as the original one, like Dolly the sheep.
  • Osmosis happens when solvent molecules, mainly water, move through a semipermeable membrane. They travel from areas where there's less solute to places with more solute.
  • Reproduction involves creating new life. When it’s sexual reproduction, offspring get genetic diversity from both parents instead of being exact replicas. Only certain types of asexual reproduction produce clones.
  • Hybridization involves crossing two different individuals or species to produce a hybrid that inherits traits from both parents. It differs from making an exact genetic duplicate.
