Clones originated from the process of asexual reproduction, where organisms produce genetically identical copies of themselves without the involvement of gametes. In nature, this can be seen in organisms like bacteria, plants, and some animals, which reproduce through methods such as binary fission, vegetative propagation, or budding. In modern science, the term "clone" often refers to organisms created through techniques like somatic cell nuclear transfer, exemplified by Dolly the sheep, the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell in 1996. This scientific advancement has led to further exploration in genetics, agriculture, and medicine.
