  • Cloning: Understanding Genetic Identity of Cloned Organisms
    The correct statement concerning an organism produced by cloning is:

    It is genetically identical to the donor organism.

    Here's why:

    * Cloning involves creating a genetically identical copy of an existing organism. This is achieved by taking the nucleus (containing the DNA) from a donor cell and transferring it into an egg cell that has had its own nucleus removed.

    * The resulting embryo, with the donor's DNA, is then implanted into a surrogate mother, resulting in an offspring that is genetically identical to the donor.
