Compare with Definitions

Clon

A group of genetically identical cells or organisms derived from a single cell or individual by some kind of asexual reproduction

Clone

A group of cells or organisms that are descended from and genetically identical to a single progenitor, such as a bacterial colony whose members arose from a single original cell.

Clone

An organism developed asexually from another and genetically identical to it, such as an animal produced from an egg cell into which the nucleus of an adult individual has been transferred.

Clone

A DNA sequence, such as a gene, that is transferred from one organism to another and replicated by genetic engineering techniques.

Clone

One that copies or closely resembles another, as in appearance or function
"filled with business-school clones in gray and blue suits" (Michael M. Thomas).

Clone

To make multiple identical copies of (a DNA sequence).

Clone

To create or propagate (an organism) from a clone cell

Clone

To reproduce or propagate asexually

Clone

To produce a copy of; imitate closely
"The look has been cloned into cliché" (Cathleen McGuigan).

Clone

To grow as a clone.

Clone

A living organism (originally a plant) produced asexually from a single ancestor, to which it is genetically identical.

Clone

Clone

Clone

A group of organisms derived from a single individual by some kind of asexual reproduction; - used mostly of microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast.

Clone

Clone

Something virtually identical to another object.

Clone

To make a clone from; to make identical copies of an organism by a non-sexual process of reproduction.

Clone

To grow colonies of a microorganism by spreading a suspension of the microorganism onto a solid growth medium (such as in a Petri dish), at a concentration such that individual colonies will grow from single cells sufficiently well separated from other colonies so that pure cultures derived from a single organism can be isolated.

Clone

To make large quantities of a segment of DNA by inserting it, using biochemical techniques, into the DNA of a microorganism, and growing that microorganism in large numbers; as, to clone the gene for growth hormone.

Clone

A person who is almost identical to another
