which of the following is true of cloning?
it is welcomed as an ethical and morally sound science
only one cell of the original organism is needed to initiate the process
the clone is similar to but not exactly like the original organism
it involves the asexual multiplication of the tissues of the original organism
Explanation
Cloning is the process of creating a genetic copy of a cell or organism. The copy is called a clone. Cloning involves the asexual replication of the genetic makeup of an organism. This process can occur naturally or artificially. It's asexual because all the genes in the new organism are from the same source, rather than being a mixture of the genes from two individuals.
