What is colning in biology?
Cloning is the process of producing genetically identical offsprings. Naturally, it happens when certain bacteria reproduce asexually..in biotech, it involves creating copies of DNA fragments(molecular cloning) or cells(cell cloning).
How do asexually reproduced organisms genetically compare to their parent?
They are genetically identical. unless mutation plays its role.
What is a genetically linked disease?
a genetically linked disease is often known as a heridatory disease caused due to abnormalities in genes.
Do genetically grown crops take longer to grow than naturally grown?
I assume you mean genetically modified, since anything that grows does so based on its genetic material. No, genetically modified crops do not take any longer to grow than their naturally-selected counterparts. When growing corn, for example, the farmer can choose from a fairly wide selection of maturity lengths, both in normal and in genetically modified.
What is meaning of bt corn?

What are some GMO examples?
[1] Corn to which the naturally occurring bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis has been transferred. Bt corn thereby has crystal proteins that are lethal to corn borers and corn earworms. [2] Potatoes genetically modified for higher starch contents. [3] Potatoes and tomatoes to which the antifreeze genes of cold water fish have been transferred. Seedlings thereby have better responses, and show better survival rates, to cold temperatures. [3] Rice that has been genetically modified, to contain beta-carotene and more iron. [4] Soybeans that have been genetically modified so as not to be affected by Roundup. The weedkiller thereby needs to be applied once, not several times.
Is the corn used to make Smirnoff genetically modified?
Almost everything that is mass produced uses genetically modified ingredients to save money.
